A Public Infestation at Work

Thu, 2024-03-21 22:00 +0000

Since this President is intent upon re-election, his choice of politics over country for his State of the Union speech was a no-brainer given the opportunity of a rare national audience. However insulting this was to House members, it’s merely one Biden incident.

That which follows is more incriminating and thus should justify the public’s condemnation.

Two needless American tragedies, one after Biden’s election but prior to his inauguration while the other just recently, have sadly but appropriately framed his dreadful time in office. While separate and unrelated, most disgraceful has been both Biden’s insulting insults and indifference to each victim!

If only due to the elapsed time, Ashli Babbitt’s murder has become well known to many, but can you believe, still not all? As a January 6th unarmed protestor, this American veteran and successful business owner was shot by Michael Bryd, a Capital Police officer who owned a spotty police record. In fact a record which includes his police authority being revoked on more than one occasion, including one violation for unjustified use of force.

As stated, Babbitt didn’t present a threat and was unarmed, yet Officer Bryd shot and killed her. To this day, our Justice Department has yet to file charges, and also to this day, Biden has yet to officially recognize her killing or even to confer with her family. At the very least, Biden’s conduct shows a lack of common decency!

More recently, Laken Riley, a nursing student out for a morning run, was mugged and murdered in the most gruesome manner by an illegal alien who was arrested. This occurred during the week prior to Biden’s political speech to Congress and the nation; the one in which he also chastised Supreme Court members.

Finally and after being prodded by a Congressional attendee, Biden finally uttered her name, “Lincoln” Riley incorrectly. The next day, Biden’s shame reached new heights when he was criticized for identifying Lincoln’s alleged murderer as an “illegal alien.” He apologized for the use of the term “illegal alien” on live TV!

America has a problem, and it’s homegrown. In essence, our people’s sagging ethics and morality have enabled our political machines at local levels to have an easier task of picking the next pliable candidate to elevate to the state or Federal levels. As the public succumbs to this anti-American depravity, few candidates of worth become available or even are willing to serve.

Presently, we as a people are witnessing the horror and general disbelief of a society that has come to prefer the easy and uninhibited rather than the normal exertion of effort for supporting an orderly and moral community. Such is the case when two young flowers of American womanhood are lost without a public outcry, much less without any official criminal charge!

From all the nightly political pundits and endless blather over incidentals, only one network devoted ample time and appropriate regard to both ladies. Directly on the heels of Ms. Babbitt’s murder, this empty-suited President failed as a Commander to give appropriate recognition to the military sacrifice, which was directly attributable to Biden’s defeatist orders. As the flag-draped coffins were carried from the plane, Biden had the audacity to check his wristwatch with a show of impatience!

As much as Biden is a disgrace, he reflects a society in which too many are following in his footsteps! Our entire system has slowly but consistently been inverted to the point that now seven and eight-year-olds are questioned about their birth genders! This example of societal decay and inversion includes school officials intent on replacing parents and family as today’s generation’s caretakers! Say what? Further incriminating is that all this is taking place within a Christian-based nation!

In recent times, we have all heard that each election is the most important. However, given the above cited events and non-actions, 2024 is not just an important date, it just might be our last election! Today, it’s past debating whether the communists have infiltrated. It began long before any of us were born. However, this is our time, our calling, as was another time roughly 250 years ago. Our Founders reacted and sacrificed for a belief, whereas our calling is for survival. When comparing the difference of actions taken then and being required now, ours is doable, expected as citizens and devoid of that previous sacrifice. All that’s needed today is to vote for the preservation of freedom and for the protection of the country we love!

Israel: Ongoing Links, Memes, and Commentary

Thu, 2024-03-21 20:00 +0000

This is an attempt to “break out” memes, links, and my commentary about the situation in Israel / the Middle East so as to not overload the standard meme posts that I do.  My last “normal” meme post.  In these Israel-related posts I don’t just have memes such, but lots of informative links as well as hopefully-insightful commentary.

Note that this is not meant to be a day-by-day update about what’s going on.  Rather, to highlight uncomfortable truths about the actual nature of the conflict, deep-history background, and so on, as well as to show the at-present immutable nature of Islamic hatred of Jews and why that matters to today’s events.

Also note that these posts generally do not repeat information (e.g., specific links or memes) – so there is a lot of stuff in prior posts.  Please do check them out too if this is a topic of interest to you.  In reverse chronological order:

‘Death to Jews’ Is Still Super-Popular With Gazans Getting Their Butts Kicked by Jews – PJ Media

Israel, it turned out, was far too lenient in its treatment of Gaza since abandoning the strip almost 20 years ago. Allowing aid to pour in, cities to be built, making medical care and jobs available in Israel for those who wanted them… all that kindness brought was an even greater determination among the people of Gaza to murder more Jews.

They asked for a pounding on Oct 7. They ask for it still.

Give the people what they want, good and hard.

Biden’s ‘Trojan Pier’ for Gaza – Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish Articles at DanielGreenfield.org

The Biden administration is creating a gateway to Gaza that Israel isn’t supposed to control.

The Trojan pier is not only about bypassing Israel, but also Egypt. The administration’s vision is that the new arrangement will allow it to directly move materials into Gaza without having to get permission from either Israel or Egypt. And that’s a major victory for the terrorists.

American money – and aid – comes with too many strings attached.  Whether Israel or any other country, they really need to examine their priorities and work to wean themselves of American largess… which is fickle at best and subject to the vicissitudes of politics.

Have Gazans Learned Nothing? – PJ Media

No.

Now, I want to post two multi-part essays from my old blog about this.  The first two, specifically, address Israel and the Arabs.

 

E Israel and the Palestinians Hard info and a harder question 1

 

E Israel and the Palestinians Hard info and a harder question 2

 

The second describes, among other topics, the power of political myth – including the “unique” identity of the Palis.  Yes, I know that only in the 1960’s did the idea of “Palestinians” as a specific entity come about.

 

 

The issue is, it’s been 60 years since then.  Multiple generations have grown up with this belief, taught it from the day of their birth.  We will make no progress if we just scoff and say that they never existed.  Denying and mocking a central part of a person’s identity is not a worthwhile exercise.

Note, these next three essays encompass much more than the Israel situation but delve into other things – hopefully enlightening, but understand they’re broad essays, not focused solely on the situation vis a vis Israel.

You need to read her book BECAUSE THEY HATE.  One of the things that I did not know, per her book, is that they will find a gay Arab and threaten to expose him unless he becomes a suicide bomber.  Same with women who, again per her, they will rape – and then threaten exposure of her with the related shame to her family… unless she do the same.  Related, understand that shame-based culture:

Far worse, though, was Glazer’s abuse of Judaism and the Holocaust to claim that Israel had hijacked both. He implied that Israelis were like Nazis and that their behaviour went against Jewish principles.

This to describe a war caused by the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust and Israel’s attempt to ensure that a second Holocaust does not happen again.

The obscenity of Glazer’s comments can scarcely be exaggerated. The belief that demonising Israeli Jews somehow represents Jewish values is, however, a pathology that has twisted the minds of many liberal American Jews. It is being fed by a venomously distorted presentation of Israelis as child-killers in Gaza that’s being ruthlessly pumped out by western media.

We keep hearing about famine and such in Gaza.  Based on the pictures below, from here, I do not think that means what they think it means.  Fruits & veggies, pastries, canned / carton goods.  Perhaps not haute cuisine, but at the same time – NOT starvation.

And from here:

FOOD IN GAZA: FACTS

1⃣ 80% more food trucks are now entering Gaza compared with before Hamas declared war. Before 10/7, UN figures show only 70 food trucks entered Gaza every day. Since March 1, it’s a daily average of 126.

2⃣ Over 9,500 trucks with 200,000+ tons of food have entered Gaza since 10/7.

3⃣ Israel places zero restrictions on the amount of food entering Gaza and in fact encourages donor states to send as much as they want. It remains committed to ensuring as much aid as is needed enters Gaza.

4⃣ Hamas is hijacking and hoarding aid, while UN agencies turn a blind eye and on some occasions actively cover up its large-scale theft of aid.

5⃣ The United Nations has confirmed a “significant scale-up in humanitarian efforts… facilitated by the Israeli authorities across Gaza”, involving WFP trucks and Israeli cooperation with the Gazan private sector.

6⃣ Israel is facilitating aid deliveries into Gaza by air, land, and sea, with the creation of a new maritime corridor, airdrops to hard-to-reach areas, and the opening of a new gate in the security fence.

7⃣ Israel has expanded the Jordanian route, adding capacity at the Allenby Crossing for the inspection of humanitarian aid trucks to go straight to Kerem Shalom.

8⃣ The UN is failing to distribute aid at the pace Israel is facilitating its entry, with trucks piling up on the Gazan side of the crossing. The UN attributes this to a “breakdown of law and order”, i.e. disappearance of the “protection” of Hamas gunmen who escorted the convoys.

9⃣ Israel’s assessment is there is a stable food supply in the southern Gaza Strip, where markets are evidently bustling and stocks are piling up in aid agencies’ warehouses. It is taking proactive measures to expand delivery efforts in the north, where only 10-15% of the Gazan population remains despite evacuation orders.

The IPC report, which quotes Hamas figures uncritically, claims to be a projection but admits that it “does not take into account the latest developments on the ground”, including major humanitarian initiatives in the last week. As such, it’s a bad assessment, based on an out-of-date picture that cannot provide a meaningful projection of future trends

And from here:

Israel facilitates the entry of humanitarian aid via land, air and sea in accordance with international law. We have placed no limit on the amount of food that can enter the Gaza Strip.

Hillel Fuld post on LinkedIn – with pictures

Yes, thieves in Gaza are stealing food at gunpoint ~ Elder Of Ziyon – Israel News

It’s a win win for Hamas.  They intimidate and even starve their captive population, make money off of selling the aid that was donated, and the enemedia runs with everything as a misdeed by Israel:

Hamas battle strategy (rumble.com)

Israel’s strategic game of survival – Flopping Aces

“Their only goal is to survive. … It’s all about time. They want to survive Israel’s attack against them, which gives them immense political power. If they survive in any way, they have strategically won the war,” said Spencer.

Hamas didn’t invent this strategy. This has been the Palestinians’ strategy for defeating Israel since at least the 1982 war in Lebanon. In that war, the PLO relied on the United States to force Israel to permit the PLO to survive to fight another day, by evacuating to Tunisia.

The Palestinians clearly identified Israel’s greatest strategic vulnerabilities and built their strategy around them. Its first vulnerability is its Jewishness. Israel is the Jew of the international community. As such, it is continuously scapegoated, just as Jews have been scapegoated throughout history. The United States is the only powerful nation that has ever been willing to stand up to international bigotry against the Jewish state. So the only thing needed to collapse Israel’s international position is for America to turn against Israel.

This goes double for military capabilities. Since 1973, Israel’s ability to maintain its war effort militarily has dependent on the U.S. resupply of arms during the course of war. By the Palestinians’ line of reasoning, if their many friends could convince Washington not to supply Israel with weapons in wartime, then they will survive.

Since all the Palestinians need to do to win is survive, their strategic aces in the hole are antisemitism and time.

Nasrallah marks the key to the influence on Israel: continued pressure on the US

Nasrallah, in his speech this evening on the occasion of the month of Ramadan, emphasizes: Biden can stop the aggression in Gaza and Lebanon with the wave of a pen.

Here is the translation of the attached distilled minute from Nasrallah’s speech this evening:

“We must thank the many who are protesting today in the US and congratulate them whether they are Arabs or Muslims or non-Muslims, Christians and others in the Democratic Party who wrote to Biden – we are not obligated to vote for you (Nasrallah means the “white ballots” in the Michigan primaries ) – they influence Very much at this point. This is the most important pressure point on the Biden administration.

Biden is not afraid of the world, nor of the international community, nor of Allah, nor of the history books, nor of anything.

Biden is now afraid of only one thing: that his policies and conduct in Gaza will lead to his loss in the presidential elections, and therefore he is debating… and resisting… and playing… if this pressure and this opposition in the US continue – then this gives an opening for hope (that the war will stop – AA) ”

A CONCLUDING THOUGHT FOR THIS POST

MUST-SEE VIDEO: Netanyahu concisely describes Israel’s accomplishments, goals, and commitment – American Thinker

This is an existential war.  Not only for Israel, but for Western Civilization.  Islam has always said First Saturday, then Sunday.  First the Jews, then the Christians.  Support for Israel doesn’t just come from my Jewish heart, but my love of America and Western Civilization.

If Israel falls, if the West feeds Israel to Islam in appeasement, it will only steel the resolve of Islam to continue its advances.

This is the danger we face.  The line must be drawn.  Here.  Now.  Or this will turn into Shiite Islam’s wet dream – a global conflagration that precedes – in their view – the coming of their version of the Messiah.  Hence, to the Iranians at the back of all this, WWIII is not a bug but a feature.

What Will Be Your Hot Button Issue In November

Thu, 2024-03-21 18:00 +0000

The candidates will make promises until they are blue in the face. This election cycle will be different than any of our lifetimes. You have to go back to 1956 when President Eisenhower defeated Adlai Stevenson in a rare rematch of the 1952 election. This was the last of six such rematches in history and the last until 2024. It will be the first time since Grover Cleveland that a former President ran for a second term.

Biden and Trump will have much to say as we progress towards November, but they will have to run on and be judged for their record as President. On the surface, in a battle of records, I would think President Trump would have the upper hand, but as the Republican, he has to battle Biden, the legacy media, and the swamp that is Washington, D.C. That levels the battlefield for Biden.

The orchestrated effort by the legacy media to blow the comments of Donald Trump about the auto industry entirely out of context is evidence of their collaboration with Biden. They took a snippet of Trump’s comments where he was talking about the “bloodbath” that EVs are causing in the auto industry and gaslighted America to think Trump was calling for violence. It did not matter who you listened to or which network. Every talking head appeared to be reading from the same notes.

There is no consensus or popular candidate in this race. Throw Robert Kennedy Jr or Jill Stein into the conversation, and the race gets even more divisive. This election will be about issues, and each side has the same topics on the board, but for far different reasons. Each voter must reconcile these hot-button issues and which impacts them or their family the most. The next step is to match your views with a candidate, and hope they are solid in their principles and will not flip-flop after Election Day. Nobody will give you good odds on part two working for you.

Every key issue we face has polar opposite views, and none show any signs of compromise bringing them towards the middle.

Economy: The Democrats have two data points to measure the economy. One is how high they can raise taxes before the revolution begins. The other is regulation. Biden continues to claim he is building the strongest economy in history from the middle. Unfortunately, Biden’s policies to date have all but eliminated the middle class.

Though the Democrats will not admit it, Trump showed us a better way, and by dropping tax rates and eliminating unnecessary regulations, he grew the economy, dropped unemployment numbers, and raised the average American’s salary.

The Border: This one is straightforward. Biden and the Democrats want no border and a never-ending flow of immigrants. The Republicans want a secure border, letting in only those who have proven they qualify for asylum.

Abortion: It is a shame this issue determines a Presidential choice for some. There is so much misinformation about the Supreme Court striking down Roe V. Wade. They returned the abortion to the States. Some states have adopted the most progressive abortion laws imaginable, while others have outlawed abortion completely. This is the beauty of the Republic. You have the liberty to live in whichever state matches your political views. The problem over the last fifty years, is people migrating to another state want to change the new state to conform with them. Assimilation is a foreign concept with too many people.

There are other issues, such as LGBTQ rights, immigration, crime, foreign policy, and education, but the three I highlighted are the top 3, in varying order, on virtually every voter’s list. Take a break from the candidate rhetoric, do some self-analysis of where you stand, and then see which former President deserves a second term.

Irony Alert: Congress Wants to Ban a Platform Doing More to Protect Free Speech Than They Do

Thu, 2024-03-21 16:00 +0000

The Congressional TikTok Ban is a bad idea, and Republicans promoting and advancing it make it worse. We can wonder why they are helping Biden’s agenda but a greater issue is wanting any president to have the ability to censor any social media platforms at an executive whim.

I mentioned it here, but several readers suggested that it deserves more focus.

To be fair, there is some debate about definitions in the bill that are purposefully vague, which, to my mind, is rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic. There should be no bill and no definitions, certainly not vague ones. That wiggle room means the ability to act first and answer questions later in court. A backdoor enforcement mechanism to shut down large platforms – maybe near an election, for example – because those in power decided they presented some sort of threat.

How long before that applies to any website of any size if this passes?

Not Your Job

Funny thing about free speech. That’s the point. Open, unencumbered debate is meant to threaten the status quo—directed at officers, politicians, and institutions to ensure they do not become too comfortable. There are no circumstances under which the US Government should ban, censor, silence, mute, manage, or manipulate public debate—ever. The public has first dibs on that through more speech and debate.

We also have rules for incitement that are purposefully tricky. Legal measures are in place to police legitimate threats, which, by the way, do not include violating every other form of speech in which that person(s) might engage.

The TikTok ban is a bad idea, not just because, as written, it might empower Executive Office abuses but also because it seeks to silence a platform that ironically is doing more to protect the First Amendment (at least in America) than the government trying to suppress it. A government that spies on its citizens and scrapes their data for nefarious purposes—and we’re not talking about China.

This is America trying to be more like the thing they claim to oppose, crafting laws in an attempt to make it legal.

State Rep Damond Ford … You CANNOT Be Progressive And Pro-Israel

Thu, 2024-03-21 14:00 +0000

I previously posted about State Rep Damond Ford (Communist – Manchester) Comm-washing the history of slavery in order to indoctrinate schoolchildren: State Rep Damond Ford Doesn’t Know Much About History. But there is more.

Damond Ford also has a problem with Israel. Indeed, he has declared that you cannot be a “progressive” (the American Communists preferred term for Communist) and be pro-Israel:

Given that this is what Damond Ford posts on his social media, just imagine what he says in private. Perhaps … “from the river to the sea?”

As I said in my prior post about Damond Ford, The only thing that really distinguishes Damond Ford and his ilk from Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, etc., is that the latter obtained sufficient power to destroy the lives of hundreds of millions. Pray that Ford and his ilk never obtain such power.

It Hertz! – Rental Car CEO ‘Resigns’ After EV Fleet Fail

Thu, 2024-03-21 12:00 +0000

Hertz Rental Cars jumped the shark on EVs, going all in on fleet expansion, complete with ads featuring Tom Brady to promote the product. Not long after, Hertz discovered – you’d think they’d have done due diligence in advance – that EVs cost more, more to maintain, and are … unreliable. We knew this.

They could have asked, or they could have read a few articles on the subject from troubled businesses and nation-states around the world.

They cost more to buy, a lot more to insure, are expensive to repair, and, in many cases, are a total loss from what might otherwise be a minor accident. You can’t trust them indoors (or shouldn’t due to lithium battery fire risk). Their advertised range rarely meets expectations. Most EVs will never run on non-fossil fuel electricity, and their manufacture and disposal are less than green.

In the end, reliability and cost were their undoing. Hertz announced it would not buy another 100,000 and instead settled on a massive EV fleet reduction – followed just two months later by parting ways with its soon-to-be-former CEO.

Stephen Scherr will step down as Hertz Global Holdings Inc.’s chief executive officer and member of the company’s Board of Directors effective March 31, the company announced Friday. Scherr led Hertz for just over two years after spending nearly three decades at Goldman Sachs.

Scherr’s resignation comes as the car rental company struggles with the higher repair costs and low demand for EV rentals.

Scherr’s departure also follows the company’s biggest reported loss since 2020. We know why they lost money in 2020—someone unplugged the world and wouldn’t plug it back in. This time, the damage is self-inflicted. It is a rental cart before the horse situation or, if you prefer, a massive virtue signal gone sideways. Look at us. We are embracing the transportation future without any support infrastructure.

Let’s Go!

No one wanted to, even after Tom Terrific said he liked to do that (it was just a commercial). And I’m not sure if Mr. Brady even owns one of those EV lawn ornaments—he might. It makes you wonder if, back in the day, soon-to-be former CEO Scherr was in the Boy Scouts and fell victim to the snipe-hunting gag. And not just him, but the whole board, because this EV disaster didn’t happen without their buy-in.

Brady cashed the check and walked away. Hertz will be paying for this mistake for a while.

Riddle Me This: What Do Jan Schmidt and Kelly Ayotte Have in Common?

Thu, 2024-03-21 10:00 +0000

Let me start with a routine disclaimer that criticism of Kelly Ayotte is NOT an endorsement of Chuck Morse.  Never forget what he did on 11/19/21. With that said, I have a few observations about Kelly that I’d like to share, and I’ll get to Jan in a moment.

Based on looking at Kelly’s and Chuck’s Facebook pages, which either or both of them might or might not let a staffer manage, it appears that Chuck has been busy on the campaign trail, making multiple stops daily and proudly accounting for his activities and time spent. I am using the words “accounting for” rather loosely because we all know that there are many other things more significant to watch than social media alone. Consider it just a raw, unscientific observation of one microcosm.  The links provided are open to the public, so Facebook haters like me can “take a peek” without membership.

Anyone can go back in time further, but I find the past few days interesting.  Kelly was not at Saturday’s gun rally, but Chuck was.  I know what people are thinking.  Didn’t she vote for some red-flag bills in Washington?  That’s what I’ve heard, though I haven’t looked into it and have no reason to doubt it.  If true, I can see why she wouldn’t care to attend; a possible explanation rather than an excuse, but let’s move on.

I know it’s common for high-profile candidates to want to keep their social media active with daily entries.  I also know that being busy is often not as important as looking busy.  I won’t bore you with a detailed review of all of the recent entries of both because you can take a look for yourself.  Just take note that Kelly sure does post a lot of family memories, endorsements, opinions on current events, and pictures that might or might not be current.  I see nothing wrong with sprinkling a few of those things into one’s feed, but the dearth of current activity is on full display.  I also often see retooled posts, meaning a “double dipping,” if you will, of a campaign stop entry from days earlier.

As annoying as NH Journal is, I regularly check out what it says and happened to fall behind a few days.  The St P’s Day breakfast is a well-known Nashua event, and the Damn Emperor served as “Deputy Blarney Master.”

He even called attention to Kelly’s absence from the podium. We all know how much that narcissist loves attention, but we also know that Kelly Ayotte is his pick, and she’s also the only Nashua candidate running for governor.  The other three well-known household names were present despite being out-of-towners, and 2 of them were from the enemy camp!  Chuck was even photographed with the enemy camp’s unsightly Bette Lasky!

You can see that on his Facebook page, but if that causes eye damage, do NOT call her husband.  He’s an optometrist who steals political signs.  In fact, if Dr. Lasky was in attendance, Chuck and his staff ought to inventory his signs and report any missing ones, but back to Kelly.

So my question to all of NH, particularly the locals, is, “Where’s Kelly Ayotte, and is she ok?” Can someone account for her recent whereabouts and say under oath (to Leah Cushman or anyone else) how she’s doing?

The answer to the namesake question in the title, “What do Jan Schmidt and Kelly Ayotte have in common?” is that they’re both Ward 1 locals and public figures who are well-known to the rest of the city.  Remember when then-Alderman Jan parked in the handicapped parking behind city hall without properly displaying the required credentials?

A Grokster sounded the alarm, and a cyber-welfare check ensued.  Jan was kind enough to show her gratitude for such concern by filing a bill during LSR time (November 2019) titled something like “relative to stalking elected officials.”  Fortunately, it died either in the House or earlier in the process, but that wasn’t the end.  She tried to get the Grok kicked off their server but without success.

If Kelly, being the lawyer that she is, supports free speech as much as Professor Alan Dershowitz does, I expect her to respect MY 1A rights better than Jan has of everyone she disagrees with.

Night Cap: James F. McLaughlin and the New Hampshire Laurie List

Thu, 2024-03-21 02:00 +0000

I have followed various mailings, messages, and InDepthNH.org news articles regarding the NH Exculpatory Evidence Schedule (EES) (aka the “Laurie List”). Because I am a New Hampshire prisoner with no online access, I have been unable to respond to this matter, but I do so now with the help of an outside advocate.

From a contact at ACLU-NH, I became aware in late 2021 that former Keene, NH Detective James F. McLaughlin was briefly named on the public EES for a founded 1985 complaint of “Falsification of Records.” This was by no means the only EES misconduct by Mr. McLaughlin, but the public has been constrained from commenting by the years in which the existence of this list was kept secret and by the anonymity and judicial secrecy afforded to officers seeking removal from the list.

In a recent article by Damien Fisher at InDepthNH.org, “Judge Considers Releasing YDC Abuse Affidavit AG Wants Sealed,” I read a hopeful quote by Judge William Delker: “We don’t litigate in secret in this State.” With all due respect to Judge Delker, that is likely true in his Court but not entirely true throughout New Hampshire Courts.

We want to thank Gordon J. MacRae for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

I am in my 30th year of incarceration, a result of what is commonly called a “trial penalty.” Pre-trial in 1994, I was three times offered in writing, a “plea deal” to plead guilty to charges orchestrated and investigated solely by Detective McLaughlin. The proffered deal was that I would serve a term of one to three years in prison if I would plead guilty. When I declined the deal, the offer was reduced during trial to one to two years. I declined again and was subsequently sentenced by Judge Arthur Brennan to a term of 33 to 67 years. Because the minimum term requires an admission of guilt, I am sentenced to 67 years.

It was a violation of Brady v Maryland that neither I nor my trial counsel were informed pre-trial that nine years earlier, in 1985, Detective James McLaughlin was cited for misconduct, “Falsification of Records.” This was by no means his only violation, as detailed below, but legal and judicial secrecy afforded to officers seeking removal from the Laurie List has effectively silenced most public input.

Various articles published at InDepthNH.org as a result of Freedom of Information Act requests cite instances of altered, erased, and missing evidentiary tape recording allegedly altered by Detective McLaughlin, as well as a number of other incidents of misconduct and challenged credibility. His handling of tape-recorded evidence and his proffered bribes to potential accusers have been primary concerns in his investigation of the case against me.

The following four links detail the misconduct leading up to my 1994 trial. They include documented allegations of falsification of records and evidence, witness tampering, attempted bribery, the subornation of perjury, and the use of police power to threaten a key witness into altering her testimony.

Most of these incidents and the signed statements of witnesses are cited in three of these links and were obtained by a former decorated FBI Special Agent who spent three years investigating this case. No New Hampshire judge would thus far allow this new evidence or testimony to come before any Court.

  • Detective James McLaughlin and the Police Misconduct List
  • In New Hampshire Courts Police Misconduct is Judged in Secret

My sincere thanks for your attention to this matter.

“Community Power” and “Vax Bills!” – Did That Get Your Attention?

Thu, 2024-03-21 00:00 +0000

Now that I have your attention, you will soon know why I put those two topics in the same sentence, but you will have to keep reading.

First, I will start with an old memory from around 2000.

While working in the Cablevision call center, I learned of Braintree Electric Light Department(BELD), another competitor for the cable TV market, but just in Braintree.  It was the same situation as with RCN; it was one of several towns where the caller ID said “competitive area” to alert the CSR that specially scripted talking points were to be used, when applicable.

Here it is, nearly a quarter of a century later, and Eversource has competition, but it’s sneaky!  More on that in a moment.  Last year was an election year in Nashua, and our mayor had nine ward “town halls” earlier in the year.  One of his David Letterman-style opening monologue talking points in his tooting-his-own-horn agenda was community power coming to Nashua.  There was a small handful of communities participating, and I didn’t pay close attention to who they were, but I thought they were cities because this kind of pilot project tends to be in customer-dense places in the infrastructure.

I had no idea that community power (or programs with similar names) was coming soon to smaller towns elsewhere until I watched a video by Nurse Terese, a Loudon resident, on recent town elections, warrant articles, and related matters. When she mentioned community power, it sent my mind back to last year, Punxsutawney Phil-style!

In Nashua, community power was such that one had to opt out, which I did the day I received the (probably mandatory) notice of its debut. I’ll let the accountants talk numbers, but my reason for doing so was that it was an election year, and I hate the mayor and will be darned if I do anything just because he wants me to. I would have to follow up with Terese to confirm, but I think she said Loudon has the same situation with them.

Why not make it opt-in?  You already know the answer as do all opposition members to bills on vax registry matters.  It’s the battle for customers/voters/consumers or whatever you care to name the population that’s asleep at the wheel.  THEY are the commodity both sides are fighting for.  It’s also eerily similar to some HR and benefits things during open enrollment time: passive vs. active enrollment. Too many people are too lazy to spoon-feed themselves, but the time is now for those to recognize the deadly sin of laziness when it comes to passive enrollment because it’s all by design.

A good bill idea might be to make community power programs (or whatever they’re locally named) opt-in.  My senator is the Energy chair and Terese’s is the vice chair.  The four of us should have a talk about this.

#WhereAreTheChildren – Child Trafficking is a Democrat Policy Choice

Wed, 2024-03-20 22:00 +0000

The Bidenitas are working diligently to hide their border malfeasance. Hard work the media is happy to help shoulder. But with a little bit of research and some time, it has proven (dare I say child’s play) to expose the deliberateness of their indifference, especially regarding “migrant” children.

Allison Dyer took to  Rumble to show us, in just a few minutes, referencing a handful of key players, how the Biden administration is responsible. They allowed child trafficking, knew it was happening, and did nothing to prevent it. Children are little more than an abused side-effect of a policy choice.

Someone should call Child and Family Services and tie these bastards up in family court.

Check this out.

The Becky Whitleys Are The “Dehumanizers”

Wed, 2024-03-20 20:00 +0000

This follows up on my Adam Sexton Thinks Speech Codes Are “Interesting,” which involved a Democrat Communist State Senator’s demand that GOP State Senators not refer to illegal aliens as illegal aliens. The Communist State Senator later took to X to Comm-splain that referring to illegals as illegals is “dehumanizing”:

 

What an opportunity for the GOP State Senators, which, of course, they missed and squandered. Comrade Whitley and her ilk are all about “dehumanizing” the roughly half of America that won’t goose-step to their hard-Left agenda. Has Comrade Whitley ever “fought” against her side’s “dehumanizing language”? Of course not. She’s a Communist. She does NOT have to play by the same set of rules that she demands her opponents (she would see them as enemies) play by.

For example, if you mention any of the obvious ways the 2020 election was rigged … you are an election denier. If you question any of the climate-“science”, you are an election-denier. If you question the efficacy and safety of the COVID “vaccines,” you are a vaccine-denier. The point of this language is to make you the equivalent of a Holocaust denier. You are a NAZI if you don’t march in goose-step behind Whitley and her ilk.

If you don’t believe in abortion-on-demand through nine months -if you support even the most minimal restrictions -that makes you anti-choice. This from the people who wanted you to have NO choice about shooting up with an experimental drug (the COVID-“vaccine”) by having that be a condition of your employment. See how this works yet? Support a ban on abortions after six months and you are anti-choice. Support the de facto forced injection of an experimental drug and you are not anti-choice … you are a “public health expert.” One set of rules for them. Another set for us.

I could go on and on and on. As I wrote in the initial post: Disagreeing with Whitley and her ilk is discrimination, extremism, hate, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera … and makes you a racist, an election-denier, a climate-denier, a white-supremacist, anti-choice, a fascist, an insurrectionist, a transphobe, a homophobe, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. It is not “dehumanizing” when Comrade Whitley and her ilk use this language. But it is “dehumanizing” to refer to illegals as illegals.

One set of rules for them. Another set of rules for us. It’s classic Communism. And our wonderful GOP State senators need to see it for what it is and grow the testicular fortitude to call it what it is.

Books: ‘Stay Safe’ by Michael Lacoy – A Dark Comedy Set During a Global Pandemic

Wed, 2024-03-20 18:00 +0000

Stay Safe by Michael Lacoy is set in the make-believe town of Beauville, New Hampshire, and features characters who fit into any number of pandemic archetypes. You’ll recognize them and associate them with people and behaviors experienced after the world was turned upside down in the spring of 2020.

The story begins with Cole Perrot, wearing a Pq32 respirator face mask and N16z face shield, as he drives his reluctant young daughter (also masked and shielded) to the clinic to get ‘vaccinated’ against the SPAARZ virus. The ‘vaccine” has been approved for the 12-year-old, and Cole can’t wait, even if Rosa isn’t so sure.

Only his son has refused, pushing back against his father’s (and much of the world’s) easy embrace of government mandates and media narratives and the Karen-like behavior that came with it.

Cole Perrot—a frustrated college administrator who spends most of his time on social media—ferociously loathes his next-door neighbor, Tyce Creamer, an internet celebrity and the very embodiment of “toxic masculinity.” Unfortunately for Cole, his wife Oona feels differently about Tyce, as do Cole’s teenage son and young daughter. Sensing a threat to his progressive values, not to mention his hold over his family, Cole secretly declares war on his “redneck” neighbor. What follows is a series of events that are by turns shocking, hilarious, absurd, and perfectly of our present moment.

Set amid a global flu pandemic, the novel chronicles the unraveling of both a man and a country in a time of heightened fear and deep social division. Mixing comedy, tragedy, and blistering satire, Stay Safe amuses and terrifies in equal measure.

It’s all in there, along with a cast of what I can only call Pandemic Era Archetypes.

Stay Safe offers a light-hearted opportunity to revisit the madness as an observer of players whose lives are forever impacted by the decisions they make during this unusual time in New Hampshire and the world.

And at 275 pages, it was a breeze to get through.

Check it out.

Public Library Promotes Children’s Book Celebrating Violent Action Against Police

Wed, 2024-03-20 14:00 +0000

For at least two years, the Nashua Library has displayed the book “What Was Stonewall?” in the children’s room during June. This book is about the history of the treatment of lesbians and gay men in the US, and it is for children ages 8 to 12.

Related: Library Promotes Book That Teaches Kids to “Love Who You Choose”

These are impressionable young children without much experience of the world, and I am alarmed by the violence that is celebrated in this book.

The first alarming item in the book is an account of the horrific abuse of gay men in the past, including lobotomies and castration. Do kids this age need to know about this? Even adults will find this difficult to read. Sadly, this reminds me of what is happening today to too many young men who are confused about their gender identity and are castrated while under the delusion that they can become a woman.

In the account of the Stonewall Riots, the author celebrates violence against the police. After the police announce they are going to arrest people at the Stonewall Inn, the rioters yell slurs at the police. They proceed to throw bottles, rocks, and bricks, rock police cars, and slash their tires. The police officers were forced to retreat into the Stonewall Inn. The rioters broke the windows and ripped a parking meter out of the sidewalk, and used it to bash in the door. The police officers had to barricade themselves in. The rioters then threw Molotov cocktails into the building and pushed a burning trash can in through the window.

This is a dangerous situation where many people could have been seriously hurt and killed. It is not something to celebrate. The author minimizes it:

By now, the crowd numbered more than two thousand. The officers used a fire hose to put out the flames and disperse the mob. Outside, people laughed.  The water probably felt good on such a hot night!

These were serious crimes, and it is ludicrous to make light of it, most especially for impressionable children.

This is a far cry from the non-violent civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King that continues to be an inspiration to everyone. This is a story of out-of-control miscreants wantonly destroying property in the process of trying to kill police officers.

It is also concerning that the book’s resources include the website for The Trevor Project, which has drifted from its original mission of protecting gay youth from suicide. Read “Why does the Trevor Project want to separate kids from their parents?” and “Trevor Project in crisis amid financial woes, staff dissension, ‘union busting’: sources.”

You Should Support HB1414 to Audit Gunstock Resort … Because They Don’t Want to be Audited

Wed, 2024-03-20 12:00 +0000

Two years ago, we discovered something interesting. If you ask too many questions about Taxpayer-owned Gunstock Resort, huge sums are spent, and pressure is brought to oust anyone in elected or appointed office who asks those questions. Suspicious?

It is, and we won’t get into the weeds, but Gunstock Mountain Resort is the property of the people of Belknap County and New Hampshire. It is a government organ, and when the people’s representatives began questioning its motives and integrity, the mere idea of impropriety became a third rail.

Suspicious?

A bi-partisan cabal of advocates for keeping whatever goes on hidden are also enthusiastic about making it more difficult and expensive for citizens to file right-to-know requests of this government entity or anyone familiar with its workings (HB1002).

Suspicious?

The current Gunstock Commission and County Delegation, which rose to replace those asking uncomfortable questions, oppose HB1414. They don’t want it audited (they have oversight, you see).

Suspicious?

The Gunstock Commission does not want to record public meetings or keep meeting minutes, and they do not want a forensic financial audit of Gunstock Mountain Resort (which HB1414 requires). Related: Gunstock- The Home of No Financial Controls?

Suspicious?

This majority came into power in part because of a well-funded campaign to ‘Save Gunstock.’ The implication was that the resort was in danger, but the only things they saved Gunstock from were transparency and accountability. It worked in 2022. Will it work again in 2024? Will Gunstock Resort dodge operational and financial scrutiny yet again?

What are they hiding? Why didn’t they want a financial audit? Why doesn’t a majority of the Commission or the Delegation want one, either? Don’t Taxpayers have a right to know?

We cannot guarantee that HB1414, should it pass the House, will survive the State Senate or Sununu’s gubernatorial veto pen (Gunstock insiders did illegally donate taxpayer dollars to His Excellency’s campaign not once but twice), but that’s no reason not to try.

Something stinks at Gunstock, and the people who don’t want you to find the source of the odor continue to spend a lot of time, energy, and money making sure you don’t or can’t.

If that isn’t the best reason to ensure they get audited (and) regularly, I’m not sure what is.

Support HB1414, and perhaps we’ll see what it is they don’t want you to know.

Have We Reached The Point Of No Return

Wed, 2024-03-20 10:00 +0000

There is a rhythm to politics, but we usually live in the middle of the spectrum, leaning one way or the other. Barack Obama made the Progressive Radical Left popular, and for the last sixteen years, we have been pulled out of the middle to the more Socialist Left. The previous four years have been highly volatile, even on the state level.

We had a short reset period at the beginning of the Trump Presidency, but COVID stopped that. Biden, who had been a man of the middle for nearly fifty years, decided to drop to his knees and bend over backward to the Radical Left of the Democrat Party. America may never recover from the damage he has inflicted on her.

That sounds like hyperbole, like the senseless rhetoric of the Greenies. But if you look at the compilation of the activities of the Federal Government and some of the more active Blue States, we have taken strides with issues that cannot be reversed when adults move back into power.

Democrats still lament the overturning Roe v. Wade, but we have Blue States like New York and Maine that have adopted new laws that allow for abortions up to the crowning of the baby’s head at its mother’s cervix. Though still illegal at the Federal level, states have begun to legalize Marijuana for recreational use and have backed their decisions with ludicrous comments like there is no proof that Marijuana can harm the user or the distributor. The poisonous chemicals discovered in the legally grown weeds are enough to hurt or kill the users.

How many ways will we be harmed by the 10 million illegals that have invaded our country under Joe Biden? Many cities and towns have been forever harmed in the name of importing enough people to ensure Democrat Blue states forever. We will lose over 400,000 young Americans to Fentanyl during Joe Biden’s Administration because Biden does not have the spine to stand up to China. We have a DOJ and intelligence community that has been weaponized against the Right by a frightened Left that has destroyed the non-political position of these agencies forever. Our educational system has been proven to be more about indoctrination than education and has been strengthened and bolstered under Biden. We have developed a generation that is so confused about the gender they are supposed to be, rather than that they were born, that they are seeking drugs and surgeries to destroy their God-given bodies.

These bizarre, illogical, and unAmerican philosophies cannot be reversed by winning elections. These are irreversible for our existing generations. Barack Obama told us he would fundamentally transform America. He didn’t tell us that Joe Biden would put the exclamation mark on the work started by Obama. We did not need a foreign country to invade us and take control of our Republic. The people we elected to represent us did it without firing a shot. We can elect Republicans in November to put a halt to the destruction, but I fear the job has already been completed. America as we grew to know and love no longer exists.

Night Cap: Novel Lithium Extraction Method Unveiled in Utah

Wed, 2024-03-20 02:00 +0000

A revolutionary new technology to extract precious lithium from brine water is poised to be deployed in the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The element lithium is essential to electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing, for batteries and eventual grid storage capacity.

Precious mineral resources will grow in economic importance for many nations, yet their mining and disposal are increasingly proving a tricky political problem.

Revolutionary Extraction Method

The surge in EV production caused lithium prices to soar, boosting many mining industries and attracting venture capital globally. Most of the world’s lithium is mined from underground brine that is pumped to the surface and then stored for months in toxic lakes that evaporate the water and concentrate the lithium for extraction.

An American company has patented a novel extraction process that eliminates evaporation ponds with reusable ceramic “beads” that absorb the lithium. Waterleaf Resources, a subsidiary of Lilac Solutions, is constructing a facility at Utah’s Great Salt Lake, which it expects will produce 20,000 tons of battery-grade lithium annually. The company’s “proprietary ion-exchange media (IXM)” employs “holy grail” technology in its “mission to scale global lithium production to support the electric vehicle industry and energy transition.” Lilac’s process is far more efficient than conventional methods, returning processed brine water to the Great Salt Lake.

Lilac Solutions’ innovative technology promises a sweet-smelling answer to the significant environmental problems of traditional extraction of lithium from brine, especially in the Great Salt Lake, shriveled by years of severe drought. Waterleaf Resources plans to pump 80,000 gallons of briny water per minute from the lake, all of which will be recirculated back following lithium extraction. No massive lagoons are required.

Some environmental groups, however, have complained that the company’s planned drawdowns of 20,000 gallons daily of additional fresh groundwater positions Waterleaf ahead of farmers and other local land uses.

The China Connection

Lithium price volatility has revealed the seismic economic forces unleashed by the mass production of EVs. China is constructing coal-fired plants to smelt aluminum for EVs and expanding its rare earth mining operations both domestically and abroad. As America is denounced for past colonization, Beijing is securing massive supply lines that permit it to feed its industries, threatening global hegemony in multiple markets.

The largest traditional lithium producers are China, Chile, Australia, and Argentina, while the largest importers are China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. The Lilac Solutions technology opens the door for national security protection for the United States rather than continued dependency on overseas markets strangled by China. The precious metals nickel, cobalt, and lithium are all vital inputs for the world’s military complex, including the territorial ambitions of China and Russia.

By subsidizing domestic lithium production, China drove up production and thus inventories. As EV sales slid, the price of lithium plummeted some 80%, a drop so precipitous as to make domestic mining and steel operations in Australia unprofitable. Warned the Australian Strategic Policy Institute: “Far from a hypothetical, Beijing has already used its near-monopolistic global supply-chain control of (rare earth elements) to strategic advantage against the US and Japan.” Jamie Seidel at News.com.au reported:

“Beijing’s willingness to subsidise every step of production and bear the environmental fallout of chemical and energy-intensive processes means it’s now the source of about 80 per cent of the rare earths processed worldwide. That includes 90 per cent of lithium, 70 per cent of gallium, and 70 per cent of germanium.”

China does not hesitate to flex this economic muscle to protect its interests – it imposed export restrictions on Australia when that nation called for an international investigation of the source of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conversely, China’s allies will benefit economically from rare material supply lines. Even as American lithium production firms Albemarle Corporation and Piedmont Lithium are laying off workers, Zimbabwe has attracted more than $1 billion in investment from Chinese mining companies to develop its hard-rock reserves.

Recent surges in EV sales in China point toward the eventual absorption of existing lithium stockpiles. The depressed global market has caused production slowdowns and delayed mining expansion, reducing future lithium supply lines. Such pressures suggest Lilac Solutions and its industry-transforming technology will be smelling like a rose. However, potentially intractable problems of EV battery disposal persist.

Disposal Problems Mount

Discovering innovative methods to harvest precious elements does not abate the daunting environmental disasters of EV manufacturing that include coal-fired plants to smelt aluminum, innumerable chemical inputs for car amenities, and disposal of toxic batteries. A 2020 Institute for Energy Research commentary claimed:

“It is estimated that between 2021 and 2030, about 12.85 million tons of EV lithium ion batteries will go offline worldwide, and over 10 million tons of lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese will be mined for new batteries.

“Environmentalists expressed unfounded concerns about fracking, but they need to be worried about replacing fossil fuels in the transportation and electric generating sector with electric vehicles and renewable energy where lithium, cobalt and other critical metals are needed to produce these technologies.“

The world has so far “electrified” an estimated 3% of its global vehicle fleet – there is a mountainous amount of mining and manufacturing urgently required to achieve “net-zero.” The manufacturing demand is never-ending, but not costless. Solar panels and EVs have temporary “useful lives,” their obsolescence is inevitable, if not planned. Recycling and disposal of aging solar panels are environmentally nightmarish; EV batteries are worse.

‘Clean Energy Storage’ Is Filthy

Batteries labeled “clean energy storage” are anything but clean. Diverse battery designs and chemical composition combined with strong glues eliminate uniformity in processing. Like stalled recycling efforts of plastics, metals, and glass, there is currently no system to recycle precious metals from most batteries efficiently. Pyrometallurgy burns spent batteries into a slag to extract desired materials. Dissolving batteries in acids is called hydrometallurgy. Neither is cost-competitive with newly minted batteries.

Neither scientists nor politicians have ensured efficient battery recycling on any scale. It may be decades before the world resolves the hurdles – if ever. IXM technology that filters lithium from brine water in the Utah desert does not address the future environmental liability of toxic chemicals from the renewable (“clean”) energy industry. Ion-exchanging ceramic beads may be the Holy Grail for lithium mining, but regressive EVs and their intractable battery disposal problems are not panning out to be as eco-salvific as advertised.

Thousands of People, Several Communities, and Millions in Public Funds Are Affected.

Wed, 2024-03-20 00:00 +0000

Dear Merrimack County Attorney Paul Halvorsen, with Youth Detention Center civil and criminal cases on the horizon consuming over $100 million in public funds in addition to the costs of court time and resources in both criminal and civil procedures, I urge you to serve the public interest and investigate the concerns I presented to you last year.

My concerns are about fraud by members of the Merrimack County District Attorney’s Office upon Merrimack County Superior Court.

Also, regarding former Attorney General Michael Delaney, who is one of several attorneys general under whose leadership, youth detention center victims were ignored. They also concern the NHCADSV who are involved in criminal and civil procedures.

There is a pattern of legitimate concerns being ignored by the Attorney General’s office: FRM Ponzi scheme complaints being a prime example.

There is a pattern of legitimate concerns being ignored about the NHCADSV and their conflicts of interest. When a member of the NHCADSV is also on the City of Concord Council serving as Chair of the Public Safety Committee and on the Rules Committee, questions on self-serving by members of the City of Concord Council with the help of Merrimack County District Attorney’s Office should not be ignored.

We want to thank Claire Best for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

You were on the City of Concord Council, and you were a juvenile prosecutor. As such, you would also have been involved in prosecuting children and sending them into facilities that were torturous environments endangering children. Many of those children came out of the state youth detention center facilities only to become adult criminals or labeled as criminals.  They are now in the state’s prisons and jails.

If fraud upon the courts didn’t exist, would these children have been subjected to such abuse, and would they have become adult criminals? Are your court personnel criminals who create criminals of citizens by leading dishonest criminal procedures due to the economic benefits for Merrimack County?

I wrote to your office seeking an investigation and answers in response to New Hampshire State Witness/Complainant Chessy Prout’s letter to United States Senator Dick Durbin of the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding former NH AG Michael Delaney in his capacity as legal counsel for St Paul’s School during the criminal trial of State v Owen Labrie which took place in Merrimack County Superior Court. This is the court that serves as the criminal trial court for the Capitol of New Hampshire: Concord. Concord serves as the home to the populations of several state and private schools. Its public agencies interact with the populations of these schools. Those public agencies also interact with the Merrimack County District Attorney’s Office and Merrimack County Superior Court. If dishonesty on the City of Concord Council is protected, dishonesty of police officers for Concord and Merrimack County protected and dishonesty in your own office protected then what is the public service your office provides?

Michael Delaney withdrew his application for consideration on the First Circuit of Appeals following the statements made by Chessy Prout to the US Senate Judiciary Committee and the answers he submitted on the questionnaire supplied by the Committee. He is still a member of the NH Bar.

Chessy Prout stated that prosecutor Catherine Ruffle was informed by Amanda Grady Sexton (of the City of Concord Public Safety & Rules Committees, Governors’ Commission on Domestic & Sexual Violence & Stalking, NHCADSV, Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s Re-election Campaign Committee) of Michael Delaney tampering with state witnesses in the presence of Sandra Mathieson from the Office of Victim/Witness Assistance.

Sandra Mathieson wrote one of the endorsements for Michael Delaney for the First Circuit Court of Appeals.

Chessy Prout stated that prosecutor Catherine Ruffle allowed these tampered state witnesses to testify. Trial records confirm this. They also confirm that Ruffle and her cohort Joseph Cherniske blocked the cross-examination of one of these witnesses, who was the son of Governor Maggie Hassan’s legal counsel, Lucy Hodder Esq.

Lucy Hodder was also on St Paul’s School Board of Trustees and, therefore, a client of Michael Delaney, who was legal counsel for the school. Lucy Hodder had evaded deposition by being out of the country, according to ihavetherighttobook.com . Lucy Hodder had also worked in the AG’s office – possibly at the same time as Michael Delaney and Jim Rosenberg, who was legal counsel for her son Andrew Thomson. Jim Rosenberg is currently a partner at Shaheen & Gordon which is legal counsel to Amanda Grady Sexton and the NHCADSV.  David Vicinanzo is also legal counsel to the NHCADSV. He requested the $100 million and is representing victims of YDC abuse who were referred to the NHCADSV by AG Gordon MacDonald. Gordon MacDonald had ordered a Grand Jury Criminal Investigation into St Paul’s School but dismissed plaintiffs of YDC abuse as “victim negligence.”   David Vicinanzo receives 30-40% of each settlement for his clients claiming YDC abuse. Records show that the NHCADSV also receives a percentage of civil settlements. Yet these kickbacks do not go back into the public purse despite the fact that the NHCADSV’s budget is paid for by the public and approved by the Governor.

According to records that were unsealed several months after the trial of State v Owen Labrie, Prosecutor Catherine Ruffle admitted to Judge Larry Smukler that a deal had been made with Lucy Hodder’s son – Andrew Thomson. She retracted that statement when the records became public. Members of the NH Bar including you, have failed to investigate what appears to be serious fraud upon the court. You have a duty to the public because you are an elected official. Additionally, you have a duty to the integrity of your profession and, I believe, the National Association of District Attorneys.

Catherine Ruffle is now the Clerk of Merrimack County Superior Court. She has access to every record coming into and out of the court. If she allowed state witnesses to testify in a criminal trial after she had been informed that they had been tampered with and if she told the judge that she knew of a deal for one of these but then allowed that witness to testify, what are the standards of your court? What should the public, jury, complainants, witnesses, and defendants expect in your court?

Catherine Ruffle and her co-hort, Joseph Cherniske, reported to your predecessor, Scott Murray. Scott Murray became a US Attorney for New Hampshire and is now a Federal Prosecutor for New Hampshire.  The only trial on his bio as US Attorney is State v Owen Labrie – “a victory for victims’ rights”.  If the trial was so important to him and there are allegations of witness tampering in it by a former Attorney General, the implications are serious and they have consequences for other trials in your court and every other court in New Hampshire.

Thus:

Why has there been no investigation into Catherine Ruffle, Amanda Grady Sexton, or Michael Delaney?

Does the Merrimack County District Attorney’s office abide by the rules laid out by the National District Attorneys Association and National Prosecution Standards? If not, please explain to everyone copied on this letter so that all journalists are aware of the standards followed by New Hampshire District Attorneys.

What rules do you follow in Merrimack County Superior Court? What rules do you and current council members follow on the board of the City of Concord Council?

Whether or not the YDC criminal cases will be tried in Merrimack County Superior Court under the jurisdiction of other District Attorneys’ courts in New Hampshire, the public, plaintiffs, and jury must have answers. As an elected official, do you think the public will pay $100 million plus for a system of Kangaroo Courts? It is a yes or no answer, and an answer is due. It does not depend on the circumstances.
Please answer the question.

Amanda Grady Sexton is Chair of the City of Concord Public Safety Committee and on the Rules Committee. The budget for Concord Police investigations and payments to witnesses is approved by the City of Concord Council.  You were a member of the City of Concord Council. Endorsements for you included your ability to budget.  Does the City of Concord and Merrimack County Superior Court rely on Kangaroo procedures for City or State budget goals?

If State Witness Chessy Prout’s statements to the US Senate Judiciary Committee regarding witness tampering in a criminal trial are correct, then it is your duty to investigate and to act accordingly, including prosecution. Witness tampering is a federal crime.

If State Witness Chessy Prout’s statements to the US Senate Judiciary Committee regarding witness tampering in a criminal trial are not correct then I believe it is also your duty to investigate a witness the State had relied upon for prosecution that was tied to millions of dollars in federal grants for the State of New Hampshire from federal agencies, Government contracts, changes in laws.

Millions were made in civil suits following State v Owen Labrie (relying on testimony in the trial). These suits benefitted the very same attorneys and NHCADSV, who are now set to benefit from settlements for plaintiffs in the YDC Cases, including Chuck Douglas, David Vicinanzo, Shaheen & Gordon, and the NHCADSV.

1-1.6 Duty to Respond to Misconduct
A prosecutor is obligated to respond to professional misconduct that has, will, or has the potential to interfere with theproper administration of justice:

a. Where the prosecutor knows that another person associated with the prosecutor’s office has engaged, or intends to engage in professional misconduct that could interfere with the proper administration of justice, the prosecutor should address the matter in accordance with internal office procedures.
b.If the office lacks adequate internal procedures to address allegations of professional misconduct, a prosecutor who learns of the misconduct may,in the first instance,request that the person desist from engaging in the misconduct.If such a request is, or is likely to be, futileor if the misconduct is of a sufficiently serious nature, a prosecutor should report the misconduct to a higher authority within the prosecutor’s office.
c.If, despite a prosecutor’s best efforts, no action is taken in accordance with the prior procedures to remedy the misconduct, a prosecutor should report the misconduct to appropriate officials outside the prosecutor’s office(to the extent permitted by the law and rules of ethical conduct of the state).
d.A prosecutor’s failure to report known misconduct may itself constitute a violation of the prosecutor’s professional duties.

A timely response is appreciated. Thousands of people, several communities, and millions in public funds are affected.

I have been cyber-stalked by Amanda Grady Sexton and the NHCADSV. I have had my letter to the LEACT commission regarding the coercion of minors in criminal investigations intercepted, posted on social media in posts in which I was doxxed, and my family smeared.  I have been threatened with a defamation suit by Shaheen & Gordon on behalf of the NHCADSV and Amanda Grady Sexton. I have been told that David Vicinanzo has said I just make things up, that I’m a liar.

I am not a liar. I am not going to be subjected to criminal defamation by one of the attorneys who will receive millions from YDC settlements or Amanda Grady Sexton and the NHCADSV, who I believe are also financial beneficiaries.

Just because I speak up about what appears to be an extremely serious racketeering enterprise that has defrauded the public and harmed lives does not excuse anyone for criminal defamation or witness intimidation who is involved in that enterprise.  The receipts are all there, and District Attorneys who chose to turn a blind eye become complicit in the crimes as members of the Banking Commission did in the FRM Ponzi Scheme. Ironically, Michael Delaney also had a hand in that.

You are the District Attorney for the State Capitol’s Superior Court.  You lead by way of example.

It’s a Ban TikTok, Biden, Weapon Sales, Censorship, Bloodbath Palooza!!!

Tue, 2024-03-19 22:00 +0000

Republicans in the US House have become Energizer® Bunnies for censorship, pushing a Biden bipartisan bill to ban TikTok, which has more secrets than Pfizer vaccine trial results. The bill is alleged to include vague provisions that empower the government to ban just about anything online it decides is dangerous.

To them.

I’ve not had time to dig deep into that last claim, but there’s something else going on. According to Sen Rand Paul, who appears to have actually looked,  only 20% of TikTok is owned by the two Chinese guys who created it. Another 20% is employee-owned (including at least 7,000 US employees), while international investors comprise 60%. The CEO isn’t Chinese, and you’d be right to wonder where all the communism is hiding, given we’ve got more communists on the average School Board than TikTok has in ownership.

They’ll have to censor that; we wouldn’t want anyone getting factccinated against another approved uniparty narrative, like the one that broke this week when the Statist National Beta Boys and Mean Girls Media Choir decided to sing; Trump is promising us a bloodbath. Russel Brand had a field day with that reporting (see the clip below) to which he included details of over 100 secret weapons sales by the Biden administration to Israel after October 7th.

I wonder what the government of Israel might be doing with those weapons Joe Biden secretly sold to them? Using them in Gaza perhaps, which Brand also notes, is something TikTok users have in common. There are folks on TikTok who do a bit of reporting and commentary about the goings-on in Gaza, with many supporting the residents. But that can’t be it. We’re looking for Chinese Communists in the TikTok bushes. The answer has to be to behave like the Chinese and ban and censor stuff!

Side note: Rand Paul mentions passing a 20% foreign investment threshold, which got me thinking that if that were true, we could ban Joe Biden.

Then there’s the thing in Ukraine, where there has been a good bit of blood spilled (enough for a bath)  with the help of Joe Biden, who has asked for and sent tens of billions into the hands of weapons manufacturers whose tanks and their bombs, and their bombs and their guns, went from here to there.

The Afghanistan exit was something of a bloodbath by all accounts, as has been Biden’s open borders policy allowing drugs, gangs, criminaliens, and likely terrorists into the country.

In other words, why is almost everyone in the government so keen to silence a social media platform they don’t control instead of focusing on all of Joe Biden’s actual bloodbaths as they do on TikTok (answers itself, yes)?

Check this out (watch for the media faceplant at the end).
