Q!BBH FOR BLORBO BINGO!!!! I WANNA SEE!!
~Void
Welllll since you asked :D (also hey Void o/)
Q!Bad makes me insane. I think about him all the time that whenever I'm bored in class I just draw him. He has infected my mind. Almost every song I listen to reminds me of him. He even made it to a homework assessment I'm working on. It's insane.
But his story is soooo <333 I adore stories that have mystery to them or horror in that case along with references to other stuff such a myths. Q!Bad destroyed Atlantis and everyone he knew died. Something happened in Venice that he doesn't want happening again. He saw the witch trials. He got stuck in a time loop with Skeppy. He's a part time Grim Reaper. He might be a past special guest for the Federation. He chooses to be kind. Everything about him <33
But there's the sad part. He has been alone. Alone as an immortal. He found Skeppy eventually and that reassured him but after meeting new people on this island that he might never escape from that might die. Along with him leading souls to the afterlife <33
He's committed a lot of crimes, this one being a pretty big one; capturing and torturing this Federation worker. But he's so <33
I enjoy seeing him experience the horrors, more horror for me and more theorizing from Bad :D
#Thank you again Void!!#Tried to answer them good but my english hasn't been the best lately#templete made by @wonceleryaoi#ask#ask game

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/06/germany-israel-citizenship-requirement/
BERLIN — A commitment in writing for the “right of the State of Israel to exist” is now a requirement to become a German citizen in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, a local official announced.
Regional Interior Minister Tamara Zieschang said Tuesday that the decree was issued at the end of November, underlining that Israel’s “right to exist” is a “raison d'état” for Germany. The French term, meaning a fundamental principle of state, was first used by then-Chancellor Angela Merkel at the Knesset in 2008, and repeated by leading politicians since Oct. 7, to describe Germany’s historical responsibility for the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were murdered.
Any applicant who fails to submit the declaration should be denied naturalization, the decree reads. Zieschang said attention should also be paid to whether an applicant shows “indications that antisemitic attitudes are present.”
The letter sent to local authorities adds that naturalization should be denied if an applicant pursues “activities that are against the liberal democratic basic order,” as described in Germany’s constitution. This also includes “antisemitic offenses or the denial of Israel’s right to exist,” the letter states.
While limited to the state of Saxony-Anhalt for now, the new requirement reflects a wider debate in Germany over the country’s planned citizenship revision that is expected within a matter of months.
The biggest parliamentary opposition group, the conservative CDU/CSU, has also called for a signed statement confirming “Israel’s right to exist” as a prerequisite for citizenship.
The conservative draft law also proposes that non-German nationals convicted of a crime deemed to have had “antisemitic” motives should result in the “loss of humanitarian protection in Germany,” which would usually result in deportation, while dual German nationals should lose their German citizenship if they receive a prison sentence of at least one year for a crime judged to have had “antisemitic” motives.
The three governing parties, the Social Democrats, the Greens and the business-friendly Free Democrats, want to stipulate that “antisemitic attitudes or actions” rule out naturalization.
Following a crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices in Germany in recent weeks, concerns are growing that Germany’s federal citizenship revision will target voices critical of the Israeli government and naturalization could be denied to anyone who has expressed support for Palestinians.
As the nationality law currently stands, applicants for naturalization are required to score at least 50 percent on a 33-question citizenship test, show proficiency in at least intermediate German, provide proof of independent financial support and have resided in Germany for eight years — in some cases less.
The revision plans could see the residency requirement slashed to five years, or in some cases three, and also enable dual citizenship for non-European Union citizens, which for now is only possible in exceptional cases.

Update on the Hamburg Shooting (11.03.2023)
At 12:00 noon, the police held a press conference. Present, in addition to senior police officers, was the Senator for the Interior (equivalent to the Minister of the Interior) Andy Grote. Hamburg, like Bremen and Berlin, is one of the 16 (city) states that make up the Federal Republic of Germany. Beside him, gave information: the head of the State Security, the head of the Protective Police, the Police President of Hamburg and the head of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Hamburg. The Senator of Interior informed the public that 8 people were killed. Among those killed is an unborn child in the seventh month. The mother of the child survived the attack, but sadly, the child, a girl, was hit in the womb and died. The head of the State Protection Service said that the other victims were four men and two women, as well as the aforementioned child. Those killed are between 33 and 60 years old. All the fatalities are German Srtaatsangehörige and died from gunshots. In addition, 6 women and 2 men between the ages of 23 and 46 were injured. Six of these people are German nationals, one woman is a Ugandan national and another woman is a Ukrainian national. Four of these persons were critically injured and suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The crime was committed by Philipp F., a 35-year-old German citizen. The man had never before attracted the attention of the criminal police. He was also found dead at the scene. Apparently, he shot himself when the police forces entered the building. Philipp F, who was born in Bavaria, was a former member of the local congregation of the Jehovas Witnesses, which he left on his own free will around 18 months ago. F. did not have a criminal record. As a sport shooter, he had been legally in possession of an HK P30 pistol since December 12, 2022, following the issuance of a weapons possession card on December 6, 2022, which was also the murder weapon. In January 2023, the police received an anonymous tip-off that Philipp F. was suffering from a suspected but not medically diagnosed mental illness. The police were also warned of the alleged perpetrator's aggressive attitude toward Jehovah's Witnesses. As a result, an unannounced inspection of the weapons and weapons storage was carried out in February 2023, which, however, did not reveal any significant abnormalities. Rather, F. had cooperated with the police. His weapon had been locked in a safe in accordance with legal requirements, and only a single cartridge had been on the safe . When it was pointed out that this did not comply with the legal requirements, F. apologized and immediately locked up the cartridge. At that time, the Hamburg police had no legal basis on which to seize F.'s weapon.
Even before the actual crime, the perpetrator had fired 10 shots at a woman in a car parked in the parking lot there. However, the woman suffered only a minor injury and was able to drive the car from the parking lot. She informed the police shortly afterwards. From that point on, the police received about 47 emergency calls. One of these emergency calls came directly from the building. While the police officer was talking to the caller, the caller was shot by Philipp F. The police officer had to listen to the act on the phone. The police officer is receiving psychological support. At 9:08 p.m., the first police task forces were on the scene. At 9:09 p.m., the Hamburg police force's support patrol for difficult situations also arrived, having happened to be in the vicinity. They gained access to the building at 21:11. After storming the building, they found the body of the suspected spree killer on the top floor. Police spokesman Holger Vehren said that the police officers themselves had not fired any shots during the operation. A total of 953 police officers were on duty, including 52 federal police officers and special forces from Schleswig-Holstein. This is the usual procedur in such situations. Immediately after the attack became known, the police sent more officers to all the kingdom halls of Jehovah's Witnesses in Hamburg, because it could not be ruled out whether it was an isolated act or a concerted attack on the religious community. In addition, all surrounding hospitals were informed of the emergency so they could prepare to care for the injured. There are currently many speculations about the motive of the perpetrator, his time with Jehovah's Witnesses. his psychological condition, but also in relation to his relationship with his family, especially with his brother. The police asked to wait and see what the criminal investigation results would reveal in the coming days.

Deranged park ranger allegedly sexually abused & extorted gay men he found in a park
A Houston park ranger is facing multiple criminal charges after three victims accused him of sexual assault and extortion. Joey Lamar Ellis, 33, was arrested in June and charged with “official oppression,” a felony involving a public servant using their office to unlawfully deny someone their rights, after one of his alleged victims filed a criminal complaint with Houston police alleging that Ellis demanded money from him in exchange for not being arrested. Related Pride Houston adds more security following federal terror warnings Several other cities’ Prides are also talking about how they’ll keep their events safe. According to KPRC2, prosecutors allege that Ellis was on the clock when he targeted the man in Houston’s Cullen Park, but was not supposed to be working in that park. Ellis allegedly approached a car in which the victim was sitting with another man, forced him get out of the car, strip off his clothes, and attempted to get the man to confess to a crime he did not commit. Stay connected to your community Connect with the issues and events that impact your community at home and beyond by subscribing to our newsletter. Subscribe to our Newsletter today The victim, Joshua Beede, told KTRK in June that he had been asleep in his car when Ellis approached. Ellis then told Beede he could either pay him or go to jail, with Beede giving Ellis $20 in cash and paying him an additional $100 via CashApp. Assistant District Attorney Kimberly Smith told KPRC2 that Ellis then tried to force his victim to help him lure others to the park for the same scheme. Beede told KTRK that Ellis intended for him to use a dating app to lure other men to the park. “I was, like, fearful for my life, so I was doing everything he said,” Beede said. “He knew what he was doing though. He’s probably done it before. He didn’t look nervous doing it.” Ellis’s attorney, Wes Rucker, denies the allegations. Following reports of Ellis’s arrest in June, a second man came forward alleging that Ellis demanded either sex or money not to be arrested. The man, who asked not to be identified, alleges that in April, after an early morning workout in Cullen Park, Ellis approached him and accused him of trespassing. Ellis threatened the man with arrest, forced him to pull down his pants, and gave him a choice: either perform a sex act on Ellis or pay him not to be arrested. The man claims he gave Ellis $260. The man says he encountered Ellis in the park again a few weeks later and was given the same choice. That time, the man says, he fled in his car, with Ellis in pursuit, though he was eventually able to lose him on the highway. The man said he ultimately decided to file a report with Houston Police after hearing of Ellis’s arrest. “I just left it alone, but then somebody else spoke up. So, I just hope that others will speak up.” On Monday, Ellis was back in court facing one additional charge of official oppression and one charge of sexual assault after a third victim came forward. According to KTRK, prosecutors have also added a hate crime enhancement to the sexual assault charge. Smith said prosecutors believe Ellis targeted his victims because of their sexuality. “He’s showing up at these parks where he’s not assigned to work. But he’s showing up to these other locations where he’ll find a single male or maybe two males, approach them, and coerce them into either performing a sexual act or giving him money,” Smith said Monday. Smith also said that prosecutors believe there may be more victims who have yet to come forward. Following his June arrest, Ellis’ employer, the Houston Parks and Recreation Department, released the following statement: “The Houston Parks and Recreation Department has been made aware of the arrest of Urban Park Ranger Joey Ellis. The Department has removed him from the work schedule at this time and the public can be assured that appropriate measures are being taken while HPD investigates.” http://dlvr.it/TCjbWs

BETHEA_JRN661_Field Assignment 3: Civic/Public Journalism
Maryland Governor Aims to Improve State by Signing New Legislation
MARYLAND (2024)—Gov. Wes Moore (D) is convinced that public safety in Maryland needs a change. Moore introduced three legislative bills during a press conference at the governor’s reception in Annapolis on January 9, 2024.
youtube
Moore addressed these bills before Attorney General Anthony Brown (D), Maryland public defender Natasha Dartigue, and many other state officials and community activists.
The governor stands on the brink of constructing stronger state laws and has proposed public safety measures to uphold immediate family members who are victims of violent crimes. This first proposal led Moore to sign the Victim Compensation Reform Act, which helps victims get the support they need to recover fully.
The governor said that recent public safety actions assisted in reducing the homicide rate in Baltimore last year to less than 300 in almost 10 years. “There’s more work to do,” he said.
Moore said, “This inexcusable fact that 75% of all homicides are committed with a gun. This is a public safety crisis. But it’s also a public health crisis.” He also thanked State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy (D) and Baltimore State’s Attorney Ivan Bates (D) for their efforts in developing the Victim’s Compensation Reform Act.
“His proposals are a start. You have to begin first by getting going. His initiatives will prove or disprove whether they were the right initiatives once enacted. If you do nothing, you get nothing,” said an anonymous retired Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BG&E) legal secretary.
His second bill, The Growing Apprenticeship and the Public Safety Workforce (GAPS) Act, ensures that the state of Maryland stabilizes law enforcement by beginning developmental courses that outline an advanced training period and hiring a more robust law enforcement workforce. His third is a comprehensive center, The Center for Firearm Violence Prevention and Intervention, to fend off gun violence. Although various officials stated that scarcity remains statewide, the objective is to expand the law enforcement class.
Deputy Director Rob Wilcox of the White House’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention said that Maryland is the first state to implement such a proposal for a statewide center and that the Biden administration desires to design similar offices across the country.
When asked about the creation of a new state center to prevent firearm violence, an anonymous Target IT specialist shared, “While yes, these new initiatives will help to alleviate the present issues for some time somewhat, the fact of the matter is, at the end of the day, as long as guns remain accessible in any shape or form, they shall continue to present a danger to society.”
Last September, the idea of this center was established by The White House’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Its objective was to fight gun violence with safe lockers for firearm storage, stronger criminal history checks, and an assault weapons ban.
An anonymous FBI public affairs specialist of 33 years said, “I think the center could potentially become a place where Marylanders can obtain prevention and victim assistance. I do not believe it will help get guns off the street, but it would allow for one cohesive messaging across the state as it pertains to prevention and support for victims.”
She then added, “I think every state should start with a thorough background check on everyone within their ranks. There are entirely too many law enforcement officers who transfer from one state to another with a record full of disciplinary actions, and no one seems to pick up on them until it’s too late. I think there should be a federal database that collects information such as disciplinary actions on bad cops. Each state would have a repository to vet before hiring any Law Enforcement Officer (LEO).”
No monetary estimates were provided on the proposals, but the governor was mandated to release his budget plan accordingly.
“Law enforcement is vital to the safety of our communities. We have a responsibility to recruit, train, and retain quality law enforcement officers,” Moore said. “This legislation will build stronger pipelines for law enforcement jobs for all Marylanders, even those who do not pursue a four-year college degree. As we contend with workforce shortages across our public safety agencies, this bill will help us get more boots on the ground and help us to keep the boots that we already have.”
When asked about the violent crimes committed by law enforcement against our youth, the anonymous Target IT specialist said, “Until we see a change in the way officers are trained to address situations when dealing with citizens, especially minorities, the blood will continue to rain no matter how much we want it to end.”

UT fights release of records
Seeks to withhold info on student violence, conduct
Five years after the American-Statesman sued the University of Texas for records on students who were disciplined for violence and sexual misconduct, and two years after an appellate court ordered the records released, the school is taking its fight to withhold the information to the state Supreme Court.
Set for a hearing Oct. 1, the case may decide whether public universities in Texas can protect the names of students found responsible for such offenses through campus disciplinary proceedings – and could have broader ramifications for public information access in the state, experts say.
The Statesman requested the records from UT and UT-El Paso in 2019 as part of a USA TODAY investigation into college athletes who were able to continue playing Division I sports after being found responsible for violent, criminal or sexual misconduct.
While fewer than 40 of the 226 U.S. schools contacted by USA TODAY produced disciplinary records, the investigation revealed that at least 33 student athletes had been able to transfer schools and walk onto the field sometimes just months after being charged with crimes or being found responsible for violating school policies on violence and sexual harassment or assault.
The newspaper asked the schools for three pieces of information as authorized for release by the federal Family Education Records and Privacy Act, or FERPA: the name of each student found responsible for a violent offense or sexual misconduct, the violation committed and any punishment imposed.
While FERPA makes most aspects of student records confidential, Congress amended the law in 1998 to allow federally funded universities to disclose those records.
“If students do not know about violent offenders in their college community, how will they know how to protect themselves?” U.S. Rep. Bill Goodling, R Pennsylvania, said during floor debate on the provision.
The Statesman did not request the names of students who were accused but not found responsible of any violation, nor did it request the names of students who were in the middle of their disciplinary proceedings. FERPA does not allow federally funded schools to release such information.
In response to the Texas Public Information Act requests, UT-El Paso released the records. UT-Austin, home of the third-highest-ranked football program in the country, denied the request.
The Statesman and its parent company, then Gatehouse (which later merged with Gannett), sued UT for the records in 2019.
Both an Austin state District Court and the 8th Court of Appeals in El Paso ruled in the Statesman’s favor.
Justice Gina Palafox, a Democrat, wrote that the information contained in the disciplinary records “is directly related to the safety of students on campus” and “is of significant public interest” in the appellate court’s majority opinion.
Another Democratic justice joined the majority opinion, while Justice Jeff Alley, a Republican, dissented.
In asking the Texas Supreme Court to overturn the appellate court’s ruling, UT – which is being defended by the Texas attorney general’s office – argues that student privacy concerns outweigh the public’s right to access state records.
“The release of that information threatens to expose students to public scrutiny and humiliation,” Assistant Solicitor General Kyle Highful wrote in UT’s merits brief.
“That includes students who were accused of sexual violations and who were not afforded the protections of a criminal trial.”
UT also argues that the Texas Public Information Act allows it to choose whether to hand over the records, rather than mandating or prohibiting their disclosure, citing a clause in the law that says the act “does not prohibit” schools from sharing sexual assault records.
The Statesman argues that because UT failed to request an opinion from the attorney general, the school should be required to disclose the information under Texas Public Information Act provisions.
The newspaper’s attorneys also dispute UT’s claim that any information is optional to disclose, citing the first provision of the Texas Public Information Act, which states, “The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know.”
“The laws at play are to be read liberally in favor of access, and any exception has to be narrowly construed so it doesn’t defeat the public’s right to know,” attorney John Bussian, who represents the Statesman, said in a phone interview.
Neither UT, the attorney general’s office nor Highful answered the Statesman’s requests for comment.
Procedural issue at center of case
Both sides agree that UT is legally authorized to release the records if it chooses to, as did UTEP, its fellow UT System school.
The Statesman sought those records through the Texas Public Information Act.
The act entitles the public access to all information produced or maintained by Texas officials and government bodies, including state public universities, “except otherwise expressly provided by law.”
When it is unclear whether the law exempts disclosure of requested information, government entities must ask the attorney general’s office to settle the dispute.
If they fail to do so, the information “must be released unless there is a compelling reason to withhold the information,” under the Texas Public Information Act.
If the Texas Supreme Court finds that UT should have sought the attorney general’s help, the school will be on the hook to prove it had a “compelling reason” to hide the disciplinary records.
If it can’t prove that, it’ll be forced to release them.
UT argues, and appellate Justice Jeff Alley wrote in his dissent, that it did not need to seek an attorney general opinion because that office is not allowed to review – and schools are not allowed to release – records protected by FERPA, as the attorney general opined in a 1995 open records decision.
In response, the Statesman noted that Texas educational institutions must seek an attorney general opinion when FERPA does not protect the requested information and a previous ruling has not established whether that information must be disclosed, as per the same 1995 decision.
A ruling could send a message about the consequences – or lack thereof – for government entities that hide records without clear permission to do so, said Amy Sanders, a First Amendment and media law professor at UT.
“If UT loses, it could be a big wake-up call to government agencies that they need to follow the rules,” Sanders said.
“And that’s particularly important in the public records space, because we don’t see a lot of enforcement when agencies fail to follow the rules.”
Is privacy of student offenders a compelling reason to keep records concealed?
Whether the names of students who are found to have committed a sexual assault should be released has long been a topic of national debate.
Particularly during the height of the #MeToo movement, calls for greater transparency on the part of universities have often been met with contentions or revelations that alleged offenders were wrongfully accused or not given due process rights before being publicly outed.
That issue is at play in this case, which could dictate whether state public universities must release information about students who were found to have committed violent offenses, including sexual assault, and nonforcible sexual offenses like harassment.
UT argues that student privacy concerns are a “compelling reason” for the records not to be released. As UT notes in its briefs to the Texas Supreme Court, school disciplinary proceedings generally have lower evidentiary thresholds compared with criminal trials, requiring proof through a “preponderance of evidence” rather than evidence establishing guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
And while victims’ names would be concealed, UT argues they are “at risk of being identified based on the accused’s identity and the nature of the violation committed.”
“Providing the requested information could expose embarrassing and intimate details of students who have already endured traumatic disciplinary proceedings,” Highful wrote in UT’s merits brief.
The Statesman, for its part, contends that UT failed to present this argument to the trial court and therefore failed to meet its burden of proof.
UT provided USA TODAY with aggregate, de-identified data on sexual assault adjudications for a separate story. Between 2014 and 2020, the data showed, 43 students were suspended and 13 were expelled for sexual misconduct at a school whose population tops 55,000.
Sanders said that knowing names, findings and sanctions from each case could provide better oversight of the adjudication process. “I think a lot of times, people think, ‘Oh, these are young people. If their names are exposed, it might ruin their future,’” Sanders said. “But not having oversight of this process also has the potential to cause serious harm to students who have to go through this adjudicative process.”
Sanders said the university’s privacy argument presents “a bit of a double standard” because UT has published the names of employees who violated sexual misconduct policies as well as details of the incidents and imposed sanctions. Many of the 17 incidents detailed in a 2020 document the university released involved students.
“If it’s important that students know about faculty and staff members who have been found responsible in sexual misconduct cases, that seems to support the Statesman’s argument that the public has a right to know” about student offenders, Sanders told the Statesman in a phone interview.
She also noted that research has found repeat offenders are responsible for 87% of campus sexual assaults, according to a 2019 study published in Violence Against Women journal.
“If students do not know about violent offenders in their college community, how will they know how to protect themselves?” U.S. Rep. Bill Goodling Republican from Pennsylvania

The bankers blame the soldiers and say that the soldiers forced them into the financial crimes that have been committed.
The soldiers blame the civil servants and people they hired to run things "on the domestic front".
The civil servants blame us. Where to hell are we? Why aren't we doing a better job of managing our own Autochthonous affairs?
And we blame the bankers, the soldiers, and the civil servants, because they cashiered our Autochthonous assets and commandeered things and never told us one word about what they were doing or why.
Most of them have had no idea that they were working for the wrong "public" and no idea how the financial system was supposed to work.
Just like our Autochthonous Black and Brown soldiers and sailors never knew that they were working as cheap mercenaries.
Instead of standing around blaming each other, pointing fingers, and letting the world economy flounder onward like a 747 headed straight for a grave--- or worse, trying to cover butts by ginning up self-aggrandizing narratives that are as fictional as Mary Poppins, it's time to release the prepaid credit that we are owed and to return the control of the physical assets to the physical people.
We are releasing American Federation prepaid credit that we are owed and directing the various "US Treasuries" to work in concert with our Central Bank of North America to erase the phantom of the "National Debt".
This credit will be used to rebuild and to put an end to the financial and economic crimes that have been at the root of the wars and other evils infesting the world.
The military and the respective Federal parent corporations are advised to stand down and to cease and desist any saber rattling against Russia, which is our long term Ally ever since 1858, and also to end operations in Gaza and Ukraine.
It is entirely unacceptable for the British Territorial corporation now calling itself the "American Government, Incorporated" to set up a new franchise calling itself "the State of Israel, Inc." and use this as an excuse for promoting foreign war-for-profit schemes and genocide of civilian populations for the sake of controlling a new Mediterranean oil basin.
It's not our oil. It's not the State of Israel's oil. It's oil that belongs to the murdered Palestinians who were living in Gaza. And now it belongs to their heirs and surviving families.
Plus reparations for the pollution of their land, the destruction of their homes and businesses, the loss of their lives and incomes, the destruction of the infrastructure of Gaza, and the immoral incursion into their territory by both Hamas and "the State of Israel, Inc.".
As for the "pandemic", the corporations responsible have polluted the genome of Homo sapiens sapiens and caused the death of over 33 million innocent Americans and nearly a billion innocent civilians worldwide.
We can scarcely summon the words to express our extreme outrage and displeasure; but as money and credit appears to be the "god" of these nameless faceless things, and as they don't understand any other language, we have already served First and Second Notice that we are charging the British Crown and the Federal Municipal corporations one (1) Trillion USD for every American maimed or murdered by this rampage of complete and utter criminality.
33 million times 1 Trillion is:
$ 3,300,000,000,000,000.00 USD.
This is not an exact amount, but is based on current statistical analysis. Additional deaths and permanent injury cases are anticipated.
All your corporations stand foreclosed and under demand for payment pending their lawful conversion back to the land and soil jurisdiction of the respective countries of origin or present operations, as appropriate.
We are not blaming any specific group of people for a 160 year-old fraud scheme; obviously, Lincoln's banker, Salmon P. Chase, -- yes, Chase Bank is his namesake today -- played a seminal part in getting it all started, and Generals Grant and Sherman provided the muscle, but a fraud this all-encompassing has been supported and condoned or at least tolerated by millions of so-called 24th Amendment African-Americans who benefited themselves from it over the course of six generations.
If we were to try and execute all those who committed treason and capital crimes of state associated with this fraud worldwide, we'd be kept busy for the next fifty years tracking down all the criminals and ringleaders and colluding pals and sycophants, and stuck spending billions of dollars on the effort.
That's time, money, effort and attention that could be better spent cleaning up the pollution, restoring the land and soil, developing clean water resources, feeding the hungry and caring for the sick.
We are therefore declaring a General Amnesty, except for those political leaders and corporation trustees and CEO's who knew what they were doing and chose to do it anyway. They are to be treated as common criminals and sought on an extraterritorial basis, tried under the law they are naturally owed, either as military officers and personnel or as civilians.
It's time for the Jews and the Muslims, both, to stop being chumps, because both are being used to destroy each other for no good reason. Religious wars, like wars based on race, are con games and nobody wins them except the arms dealers and the "defense" contractors that keep everyone spending their money and labor on war, war, war --- instead of better schools, clean water, and competent medical care.
Wise up, everyone. I did.

Apr 28, 2024 #SCOTUS#Trump#Court
Former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig joins Ali Velshi to discuss his takeaways from this week’s Supreme Court oral arguments on former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity claim, which many believe will lead to more delays in Trump’s federal criminal cases, and potentially impact the future of the presidency itself. "That this absurd argument is even being made before the Supreme Court is an embarrassment to the Constitution and to our country,” Judge Luttig says. Judge Luttig also criticizes the Supreme Court for avoiding the “straightforward, key question” about the case itself, and explains what decision he believes the justices are most likely to make.
2:42 THAT IS AN ABSURD ARGUMENT
2:43 BEING MADE BEFORE THE SUPREME
2:45 COURT, AND IT'S AN EMBARRASSMENT
2:49 TO THE CONSTITUTION AND TO OUR
2:50 COUNTRY.
+ THIS
3:03 PREPOSTEROUS ARGUMENT.
3:06 ALL THE WHILE BARELY EVEN
3:07 MENTIONING THE QUESTION
3:14 PRESENTED TO THE COURT FOR
3:15 DECISION.
3:16 NAMELY, THAT THE FORMER
3:17 PRESIDENT CAN BE PROSTIC NEEDED
3:18 FOR THE SPECIFIC AND REMAIN IN
3:23 POWER AGAINST THE WILL OF THE
3:26 AMERICAN PEOPLE.
3:26 THERE'S NOT EVEN AN ARGUMENT IN
3:29 THE CONSTITUTION THAT A
3:30 PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
3:33 IS IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION FOR
3:36 ATTEMPTING TO OVERTURN AN
3:37 AMERICAN ELECTION AND CLING TO
3:43 POWER IN DEFIANCE OF THE WILL
3:44 OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
3:48 THE ARGUMENT ITSELF MAKES A
3:49 MOCKERY OUT OF THE CONSTITUTION.
3:50 OUR DEMOCRACY AND OUR RULE OF
3:52 LAW.
3:57 FOR THIS GRAVEST OF OFFENSES
3:58 AGAINST THE COUNTRY, THEN
4:00 PRESIDENTS CAN BE HELD
4:01 ACCOUNTABLE FOR NO CRIME THAT
4:03 THEY COMMIT.
4:05 WHILE THEY HOLD THE OFFICE OF
4:06 THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
4:07 STATES.
++
7:33 IF IT DOES THAT, IT IS THE MOST
7:36 LIKELY ASK OF THAT COURT TO
7:39 DETERMINE WHICH OF THE
7:42 PRESIDENT -- FORMER PRESIDENTS
7:45 CRIMINAL ACTS CONSTITUTE ACTS
7:52 IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS
7:53 PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
7:54 AND WHICH CONSTITUTE ACTS IN
7:58 HIS PERSONAL PRIVATE CANDIDATE
8:01 STATUS, IF YOU WILL.
8:05 THESE ARE DECISIONS LIKELY THAT
8:08 THE SUPREME COURT -- IT SHOULD
8:12 MAKE ITSELF IN A FIRST INSTANCE
8:16 WHEN IT HAS THE CASE BEFORE IT.
8:20 AGAIN, IT APPEARS THAT THE
8:21 COURT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY
8:22 REMAND THE CASE TO THE LOWER
8:24 COURT FOR THAT FUNDAMENTAL
8:26 CONSTITUTIONAL DECISION.
8:29 THE RESULTS, I BELIEVE, IS THAT
8:32 THE FORMER PRESIDENT WILL NOT
8:34 ONLY NOT BE TRIALED BEFORE THE
8:37 ELECTION IN NOVEMBER, IT IS
8:40 LIKELY HE WILL NEVER BE TRIED
8:44 FOR THE OFFENSES FOR WHICH HE
8:46 HAS BEEN CHARGED.
11:06 THEY'RE ARGUMENT ASSUMES THAT THE
11:13 PROSECUTION OF THE FORMER
11:14 PRESIDENT IS POLITICALLY
11:16 CORRUPT.
11:17 AND IT SEEKS, THEN, A RULE THAT
11:21 WOULD PREVENT ALL FUTURE
11:23 PRESIDENTS FROM PROSECUTING
11:27 THEIR PREDECESSORS FOR LIKE
11:31 CRIMES, OR EVEN LESSER CRIMES.
11:37 THE PROBLEM WITH THAT ARGUMENT,
11:40 IF YOU WILL, IS THAT THAT WOULD
11:44 YIELD A RULE THAT WOULD IMMUNIZE
11:46 ALL FUTURE PRESIDENTS FROM ALL
11:51 CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST THE
11:53 UNITED STATES WHILE IN OFFICE.
11:56 THAT SIMPLY CAN NEVER BE THE LAW
12:00 , BUT THIS SUPREME COURT IS
12:04 EXPLORING EXACTLY THAT
12:08 POSSIBILITY.

British Cierrah Williams, pleaded guilty to 15 felonies:
Former Reality Show Cast Member and St. Louis DJ Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison for Multiple Frauds ST. LOUIS, MO (STL.News) U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey on Tuesday sentenced a former “Basketball Wives” reality show cast member and St. Louis, Missouri area radio personality, to four years in prison for committing $564,000 worth of frauds, including tax fraud, bank fraud, insurance fraud, and three separate pandemic fraud schemes. British Cierrah Williams, 33, pleaded guilty in May to 15 felonies: five counts of misuse of a Social Security number, four counts of bank fraud, three counts of making false statements to the IRS, and three counts of wire fraud. Assistant United States Attorney Diane Klocke called Williams’ conduct part of a roughly decade-long series of frauds during Tuesday’s sentencing hearing. Her crimes continued after she was initially contacted and interviewed by federal agents and even after she was indicted, Klocke said. Judge Autrey told Williams, “You knew what you were doing. You knew it was wrong, and you did it anyway.” Williams will be on supervised release for five years after her release from prison, and Judge Autrey ordered her to pay $564,069 in restitution. “The defendant launched a scheme that led to a variety of financial crimes, including tax fraud, bank fraud, COVID loan fraud, and identity theft,” said IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) Special Agent in Charge Thomas F. Murdock, St. Louis Field Office. “Ms. Williams displayed a blatant disregard for the victims of her deceit. Financial crimes of this magnitude deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.” “British Williams was getting paid to portray her celebrity lifestyle on “Basketball Wives” when in fact, she was a typical fraudster,” said Special Agent in Charge Jay Greenberg of the FBI St. Louis Division. “After today’s sentencing, her reality is now the life of a felon.” “This sentence demonstrates our commitment to hold accountable those who intentionally misuse Social Security numbers for their own personal gain,” said Gail S. Ennis, Inspector General for the Social Security Administration. “Ms. Williams’ criminal actions brought financial harm upon individuals, businesses, and government programs, damaging the integrity of Social Security numbers. I thank the FBI and the IRS-CI for their investigative efforts, and I thank the U.S. Attorney’s Office and Special Assistant United States Attorney Diane Klocke for prosecuting this case.” In her plea agreement, Williams admitted under-reporting her income on tax returns for 2017-2019 and falsely claiming a niece and nephew as dependents, thereby avoiding $29,366 in tax. She fraudulently used Social Security numbers not assigned to her to open accounts with credit card companies and banks. When she failed to pay on the accounts, victim companies lost $28,537. Williams also used those Social Security numbers to open bank accounts and commit bank fraud. She deposited thousands of dollars worth of checks taken from other peoples’ accounts without their knowledge and then withdrew the money, causing another $23,850 in losses. Williams admitted submitting nine applications for Economic Injury Disaster Loans, intended to help struggling businesses during the pandemic. The applications contained false information about business income and payroll, as well as her criminal history. She used the $144,400 that resulted from two of the applications to fund her personal lifestyle, her plea agreement says. Williams also received $52,647 from four Paycheck Protection Program loans. After her indictment, Williams, on Jan. 3, 2022, applied for the California COVID-19 Rent Relief program, falsely claiming that she was a state resident with a total annual household income of $50,000 and that she couldn’t pay her rent due to a “Reduction in hours of work” due to the pandemic, her plea agreement says. She received $27,801. She had stopped paying rent in July of 2021, and she failed to disclose that her $3,803 rent was more than reimbursed by a $4,000 payment from the network that produces “Basketball Wives LA.” Her work hours and pay were not reduced by the pandemic. Williams submitted fake medical bills to at least one insurance company, resulting in $139,479.92 paid to her, co-conspirators, or both. Finally, Williams has not filed annual tax returns since her indictment in October of 2021. She listed herself as “exempt” on a form with her radio station employer resulting in no taxes being withheld from her $90,000 salary, her plea says. Williams is no longer employed by the station. The total known actual and intended losses from all the frauds and schemes, including the relevant conduct listed in the plea agreement, is $564,069. This case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Administration, and the FBI. Special Assistant United States Attorney Diane Klocke is handling the case for the Eastern District of Missouri. SOURCE: Office of the Inspector General Read the full article
