bookmark_borderNext Year, Bad for You and Me?

I predict that next year will be bad for you and me, Because:

  • The first Felon President will take office on January 20, 2025 – chaos and ineptitude will quickly follow. Maybe we’ll rethink second class citizenship for (most) felons?
  • January 3 should be interesting in House, I predict Pastor Johnson will be given the gavel again.
  • On a random day in 2025, Bitcoin will crash after finally finding its last “Greater Fool”.
  • Bitcoin’s crash will also cause the AI stocks to crash, as everyone figures out it’s just crowdsourced vaporware.

Needless to say, I’m not optimistic for 2025… Happy New Year!

bookmark_borderPerfecting An Appeal In New York State

So, my appeal of the ridiculous SORA order issued on January 5, 2024 was delivered yesterday. My previous attempts were thwarted by the arcane process known as “perfecting” an appeal in New York State.

Basically, my appeal was stymied by the RECORD ON APPEAL, an esoteric document that must be created and agreed upon by the parties of the appeal (in this case the Monroe County DA (“MCDA”) and myself). BUT the directions just state that the record must be certified, stipulated to or ordered (CPLR 5525).

The first obstacle was the fact that the Court Clerk doesn’t maintain these records, the County Clerk does… So there’s that peculiarity. When I got the certified record from the County Clerk, the Appellate Division, Fourth Dept. Court Clerk rejected my submission and told me that the certified record wasn’t sufficient to meet the certified requirement of 22 NYCRR 1250.7, but didn’t give me any further instructions.

The next obstacle was getting the MCDA to stipulate to the RECORD ON APPEAL because they just ignored my request. (Seems like an easy way for the DA to block appeals, NO?) I then attempted to get the County Court judge who made the decision I’m appealing to grant an order for the RECORD ON APPEAL and was also ignored. (Again, seems like an easy way for the Judge to block appeals, NO?)

After all this ignoring, the sixth month time limit to “perfect” my appeal was running out. So I petitioned the Court to extend the time, noting all the ignoring that had occurred. They granted my request on October 17, 2024 giving me until December 16, 2024 to perfect my appeal. And surprise surprise, with a copy of their order enclosed, the MCDA agreed to stipulate to the RECORD ON APPEAL.

Now, I wait to see if the Clerk, will finally accept my appeal. Like I’ve posted before, it shouldn’t be this hard to appeal decisions.

bookmark_borderThe Criminal President Elect

I’ve been trying to understand the vote splitting in this election. I mean the difference between the two candidates couldn’t have been more stark, one an unapologetic prosecutor (Link to Reason Article) and the other an unapologetic criminal.

As Max Burns points out:

A man with 34 felony convictions can’t win the presidency in a nation where trust in institutions is high. It’s only in a culture where the justice system has long since lost its legitimacy that a man with such a thick criminal record as Trump glides by relatively unremarked. That one man can so effortlessly game American institutions to his own benefit says as much about the decrepit state of America’s institutions as it does about the moral decrepitude of the crook.

From: “America will regret its decision to reelect Donald Trump

Max is onto something; because, for the Criminal to win, millions of voters had to split their tickets. For example, in Florida people voted for abortion rights with 57% but Trump won that state with 56%. In other words, Trump didn’t get blamed for the need for the abortion rights amendment. That’s literally cognitive dissonance. And that trend continued elsewhere.

But, this election says something profound about Americans, a majority of them have literally given a vote of no confidence to our judicial system. And sadly, I agree with them. Our “justice” system is devastatingly corrupt. From our jury system being replaced by a system of pleas that allows thousands of suspected criminals (like me) to be coerced to plead guilty. Worse, when you try to fix an unjust conviction, habeas has been suspended by the obviously unconstitutional ADEPA.

Americans are aware that the judicial system is extremely unjust. And that the lists of exonerations just keep growing and growing. It’s in that context (as the Reason article linked above explains) the Prosecutor was ill prepared to fight a criminal in a fair fight, like the election… Now I understand.

So, I wasn’t the only one perplexed about the ticket splitting. Hot Rep. AOC shared in my befuddlement. So she went to social media to ask the question, here are the results. And as you can see Max, quoted above, was 100% correct. The vote splitters have a total disregard for the “Justice System”. Thus, you can ignore the nonsense that “defund the police” had anything to do with Trump’s win, Trump voters clearly don’t care about that.

bookmark_borderA Post For October

Been busy losing to the government, not surprising since they cheat. You’re told that the Court’s are supposed to be like refs, they aren’t. Make America Great Again? How about making it sane again?

The GOP’s presidential nominee is claiming to be the “law and order” candidate but he’s a convicted felon and an obvious con-man… that’s insane!

The SCOTUS has declare that the president is above the law… that’s insane!

Men, pretending to be women, want to be allowed to dominate women’s sports… that’s insane!

Judges want to pretend they’re experts on subjects that they are clearly not experts in, to ignore actual expert opinions… that’s insane!

End Rant… for now…

bookmark_borderDiddy’s in Jail while Trump’s on Bail

Talk about a two tiered justice system. The reason Diddy is in jail is because two judges determined that he is a “danger” and a “flight risk”. Yet Trump, who is in similar legal circumstances as Diddy, is not considered a “danger” or a “flight risk”.

This, of course, is nonsense. (As the case against Diddy doesn’t look that strong.) Is Diddy a “good guy”? (as Trump opined) Obviously not; but, neither is Trump. Sadly, the case against Diddy looks a lot like the case against Backpage. Strong on moral condemnation & weak on actual federal crimes (it looks like there may be some state crimes).

The problem is that similarity situated defendants should be treated the same, thus since Trump is on bail, then so should Diddy. They’re both celebrities with little to no ability to flee. They are also “bad guys” would want to intimidate witnesses, but both won’t when watched closely. So the rational to keep Diddy detained is simply unjust.

bookmark_borderFOIA Update

In May (and then again in August) I sent AUSA Cerrone a missive asking about the status of processing my request (there are about 1500 responsive docs, I’m supposed to get 150 a month – so far I’ve gotten zilch) and both requests were ignored.

I guess I cannot expect anything until they’re required to give me the Vaughn index sometime in 2025. <huge sigh>

bookmark_borderNeil Gorsuch is a Conflicted Judge

Neil has just given us more evidence that judges are just making it up as they go alone. Apparently, Neil has written a new book where he notes that the whole Aaron Swartz prosecution was “over-reach”. No Neil, it was prosecutorial misconduct done in furtherance of DOJ propaganda.

Instead of carving out “presidential immunity rights” (which are found nowhere in our Constitution or national traditions), perhaps Neil and the other conservative clowns should enforce things that are actually in the Constitution, like the 4th, 5th & 6th Amendments and revisit the silly rulings that say AEDPA doesn’t violate the suspension clause.

As I’ve chronicled on this blog, our justice system is extremely flawed and biased, we should fix it.

bookmark_borderTrump v. United States

Trump v. United States now joins Dred Scott v. Sanford, Plessy v. Ferguson, Lochner v. New York, and Korematsu v. United States as the worst decisions ever made by the SCOTUS.

The SCOTUS has just made our President a German Fuhrer. Needless to say, this is not a good development. If Biden had any balls, he would use his knew powers to do things to show everyone, especially the SCOTUS, that we do not want a Fuhrer running our Country.

Note: Read the Trump v. United States link to get the rundown on how bad this decision is…

bookmark_borderThe American Gestapo

I’m convinced that a moral panic combined with corrupt Agents (American Gestapo = FBI) were responsible for my unconstitutional prosecution.

Ample evidence proves that cops are opportunistic criminals who should be stripped of qualified immunity.

This article explains it all and you should read it, two quotes are below:

With every passing day, the United States government borrows yet another leaf from Nazi Germany’s playbook: Secret police. Secret courts. Secret government agencies. Surveillance. Censorship. Intimidation. Harassment. Torture. Brutality. Widespread corruption. Entrapment. Indoctrination. Indefinite detention.

[T]he FBI’s laundry list of crimes against the American people includes surveillance, disinformation, blackmail, entrapment, intimidation tactics, harassment and indoctrination, governmental overreach, abuse, misconduct, trespassing, enabling criminal activity, and damaging private property, and that’s just based on what we know.

bookmark_borderWhen Trump Goes to Federal Prison

Since we live in a police state, the transition from “freedom” to a LOW LEVEL – Bureau of Prisons (BOP) -prison is surprisingly easy for working & middle class people. (Note: MEDIUM & HIGH security prisons, I’m told, are a completely different story).

As far as I know there are no LOW or MINIMUM level prisons in non-police states; because, there is no legitimate “safety” reason for anyone to be confined to one, because everyone there was actually assessed to be a minimum or a low safety risk; thus only a police state would imprison this category of offenders.

Minimum level prisons in the BOP are labeled “Prison Camps” (seriously!). And all other prisons are labeled LOW, MEDIUM & HIGH. Where you get placed is decided by a computer program called SENTRY. It assigns arbitrary points for various facts about you. Usually, a first time middle aged offender is going to get 0-11 points and be labeled MINIMUM. Someone below age 30 will probably get 12-15 and be labeled a LOW. If you are labeled MINIMUM, you will likely be allowed to self report. If you are labeled LOW, then you will often be allowed to self report, especially if you’ve been out on bail until sentencing; unless you piss off the judge or they are evil.

Since I pissed off the judge (like Trump will), I can write about the experience of being immediately kidnaped after sentencing. I was persecuted in Nebraska because Keith A. Becker “judge shopped” a place that would accept his malfeasance. So after I was railroaded, I was arbitrarily sentenced to 72 months and kidnaped to a County Jail in NE, where I waited to get shipped to my unknown at that time federal prison. In County I was in a minimum security dorm – for about 6 weeks – with other minor offenders from Nebraska who I “celebrated” Christmas 2015 & New Years 2016 with, wondering how this happened to me.

Then I was shipped – like cargo – in the back of a van to Leavenworth, Kansas; where a private prison – run by some private company – is located. I stayed there for about 2 weeks before I was placed on “ConAir”. It was an old 737 supposedly confiscated from El Chapo. Regardless, it was just like flying on South West, only chained up (both hands and feet). But Minimims weren’t “black boxed”, so it was more of an inconvenience than uncomfortable. And the service was about as good as South West’s. Our first destination was Oklahoma City. Where I watched the superbowl with another prisoner that had no business being in prison. While in Oklahoma, you find out where you’re going. My new friend was going to a CAMP in California & I was going to a LOW in Ohio. A few days later (after the 2016 Super Bowl) I was on ConAIr again and after about 8 hours of flying (we went to NYC first), we landed somewhere outside Pittsburgh where we were loaded onto busses. My bus took me to FCI Elkton in Ohio, where -because of population limits – I was placed in the FCI Low, instead of the FSL “Camp” my points required.

The FCI subjects you to a much higher number of hoodlums, who (at a LOW) are more annoying than dangerous. You are really in no danger at a MINIMUM or LOW security BOP facility. It really is “Club Fed”. Not going to lie, the food before you get to your prison is going to be awful and you will lose weight; but, once you’re at prison, it’s actually diner quality, think Denny’s. The sleeping quarters are dorm, like what you saw in Full Metal Jacket. Bunks, sparsely furnished and cleaned daily. How clean everything is will be your second surprise after the quality of the food.

Your next surprise will be how friendly everyone will be, even most of the guards. To be sure, some inmates are just being friendly to see if they can get something from you, but they are the exception not the rule at Elkton. This is even more so at the FSL (I was housed in both during my kidnapping) where life is more like a bizarre summer camp than prison. Hoodlums aren’t allowed at the FSL, so everyone just serves their time like they’re trapped at a kid’s summer camp, exercise (treadmills, steppers), playing sports (baseball, kickball, pickle ball, basketball, volley ball (in a sand pit) and Frisbee golf & soccer on a soccer field) in addition to card and board games, watching TV and movies. Reading books and doing arts and crafts (painting, crochet & ceramics – yes they had a kiln).

Your next surprise will be how many people readily admit their guilt to you & just complain about their absurd sentence. For an example of this absurdity, I met a guy who told SSI that his mother died; but, they failed to stop the direct deposits to her account (which he had power of attorney over). So, he used the money to pay for her funeral and other expenses. When he got caught, he wanted to just pay the money back, nope US Gestapo wouldn’t accept that, they wanted prison time, so he got 30 days! Talk about a phenomenal waist of time & money!

Anyway, when Trump goes to federal prison, he’ll go to a CAMP or a LOW, where he’ll be with his constituents (A majority of both Guards and Inmates loved him in 2021). So, he’ll get special treatment & better food than the other inmates. Although, he’ll hate it because he’s used to being pampered and you definitely don’t get pampered in prison (there are no soft surfaces), but I’m told it’s way better than being homeless. Some sad sacks told me Elkton’s meals were the best they ever had. Imagine if Denny’s was your best ever meal. WOW just WOW. Of course since Trump claims to love McDonalds he might love Elkton’s food too.

Trump, like me, will also soon decide that none of the people at his prison actually need to be there for any legitimate safety purpose and are actually there because people don’t like them or what they did, not because they’re dangerous. And that’s what makes America a police state. Police States lock up people they don’t like, non-police states only lock up people who are actually dangerous.
