Funding Chicago’s Corruption Through Legalized Extortion and Tax Tyranny

Chicago, IL—The undermanned, outgunned and demoralized Chicago police officers will become full-time extortionists if city officials have their way. Preventing crime has been a secondary mission for cops over the last decades anyway.

Chicagoans will be living in fear of their cops because they know the city’s uniformed bagmen will be the ones out enforcing collection. Will cops be personally endangered and suffer additional ridicule and disrespect? Frankly there will be no way around it if the city goes through with plans for those controversial photo traffic enforcement camera schemes to generate revenue.

Make no bones about it, they care not about your safety it’s your purses and wallets the politicians want. If you were thinking of abandoning Chicago anyway this should drive you right over the edge.

The cameras sound simple at least to the ignorant. The people victimized the most are the low paid delivery people and cab drivers. Anyone who must drive to earn a living will be severely punished. These are usually the people that can least afford to be handing over their meager earnings to city bagmen.

Chicago will never get serious about government corruption and or their overly inflated City Council members and party faithful living in luxury. The aldermen with generous salaries, slush funds, bribes and non-stop perks will never miss an opportunity to stuff their wallets at the expense of everyone else.

As for operating a traffic camera program that’s always left to a connected private company that knows how to generously fund re-election campaigns. Along the way they always take the lion’s share of the proceeds anyway.

The sheep of Chicago will just live in more fear and blame the cops that will be the ones towing cars and arresting the pizza delivery guys and cab drivers that are unable to pay the extortion.

In America through our Bill of Rights we have long ago outlawed hearsay evidence in our courtrooms. Photos and such are hearsay evidence without a live witness providing sworn testimony. Don't worry the local courts will subvert that too in their zeal to create funding.

Chicago’s officials refuse to accept that they can only entice revenue generating businesses and employers through tax incentives. Extortion is the method of thieves, thugs and dictators.

I beg the people of Chicago to reserve their violence for the politicians that have brought this blight and not the cops being put in the middle. Frankly history shows us that violence is the only way to end tyranny.

Judge Stephanie Sautner's Bail Bond Order in Lohan Case Was Overly Punitive.

Los Angeles, CA—All accused Americans have a right to be released on reasonable bail when they are accused of crimes. Bail is granted with two specific issues, the first is concerns the likelihood of the accused to appear in court or flee. The second issue has to do with the protection of the public from any danger posed by the accused.

Today Lindsay Lohan was ordered held to answer a probation violation accusation involving her two probations. Judge Stephanie Sautner ordered Lohan post $50,000.00 cash on each allegation.

California's bail bondsmen have a heavy lobby and nearly always get whatever they want from lawmakers. Bondsmen have more power than cops over the people they service. Bondsmen need to be put out of business and the courts accept that responsibility.

With bondsmen they take and keep ten percent of the bail automatically. Lohan had to fork over $10,000.00 cash in order to be released from jail pending her hearing. That’s money straight into the sewer. Many defendants are forced to use taxpayer provided public defenders because they have nothing left if they are able to post bail. That’s horrible public policy.

Jurisdictions like Illinois rid themselves of bondsmen, requiring defendants to post ten percent of the bail with the court clerk. Provided the defendant appears the ten percent is returned to the accused. Lawyers can have those bonds pledged for the services saving taxpayers a bundle. The rate of bail forfeitures is not greater in Illinois than California.

I have a huge problem with Lohan’s bond. The first is that Lohan does not miss her court dates always showing up with a lawyer. We know for sure she will appear. The other is that she has no history of violence and any public protection concerns don’t exist. Why then, must Lohan be forced to post $100,000? Is there some judicial corruption involved here?

Simply put, Lohan should have been released simply on her promise to appear. Judge Sautner’s enriching bail bondsmen does nothing to further the administration of justice or the presumption of Lohan’s innocence.

We don’t have room in our jails for dangerous convicted criminals but we make room for people simply accused of non-violent crimes. Someone please tell me what that’s about.

All I ask for is some simple common sense but cannot find any in the California court system.

KTLA-TV Morning “News” is a Massive Time Waster

Los Angeles, CA—Today it’s news reduced to gossip and idle chit-chat. Instead of reporting news KTLA’s morning program is an overloaded anchor desk of people rapidly chattering over each other about the most insignificant nonsense.

KTLA’s main focus seems to be the shameless promoting of their other daily programing under the umbrella of news reporting. That is as lame as it gets.

For example they devote entirely too much time to those incredibly ignorant reality TV personalities rather then information viewers need in their daily lives. Very little of what KTLA broadcasts is news. Rather than provide a litany of their pathetic content Let’s take a look of what they don’t provide.

Real news with in depth coverage has been replaced with pathetic sound bites from the army of government public information officers and corporate PR flaks. No efforts are ever made to dig further into stories. Why do we need reporters if all they do is parrot the provided propaganda?

A little digging and truth verification is what we should demand of our news reporters. I guess that’s too much like work. Personally I never found a major crime story that did not have some major surprises once I began to dig into them.

Our democracy is threatened every day we don’t have a meaningful press presence. There are always dangerous ramifications when we willingly accept what government tells us without question. Too many media organizations like KTLA have forgotten their mission. I doubt that today’s reporters even know who Josef Goebbels was or why he is the Godfather to Public Information Officers everywhere.

The single most important thing in America today is jobs and small business opportunities. Recruiting a reporter from the ranks of Human Resource workers to do daily reports on jobs, training and financial survival is essential. Who is hiring and what jobs are being phased out is important to anyone trying to enter the workforce. You’ll never find that Information on KTLA.

When they do crime stories their efforts are limited to what the PIOs say and meaningless neighbor interviews with the obligatory, “It’s so scary!” sound bites. Does it ever occur to these “reporters” to check available court records on the people who are accused and those claiming to be victims or witnesses?

The days of enterprising reporting are dead. The hidden camera stories along with investigation of allegations made by inside whistleblowers have vanished.

Taxpayers deserve to have their news providers exposing waste and fraud in government. Instead they give loads of valuable free campaign airtime to any and every Liberal politician that sends out a press release.

KTLA leads the way garbage disguised as news but the other L.A. news organizations are following close behind.

TV news simply does not deserve to live.

Firing Teacher for Anti-Semitic Statement is wrong and Un-American

Los Angeles, CA—A substitute school teacher, Patricia McAllister, spoke out at a recent Occupy LA protest, saying the Jews run the nation's banking infrastructure and should be forced to leave the U.S.

McAllister made the remark in front of the LA Unified School District headquarters on Monday. The remark resulted in this teacher’s dismissal. District officials claimed to support McAllister’s right to speak but said they’d, “never stand for behavior that is intolerant, disrespectful or discriminatory."

Official’s claimed that McAllister was an “at-will” employee that could be removed without a reason.

I guess those government officials need to go back and familiarize themselves with our Constitution that gave McAllister the right to voice even unpopular speech.

Had McAllister been indoctrinating school children to embrace her intolerant opinion that would be significantly different. The fired teacher was off-duty when she made her statement.

Now the taxpayers will be paying for the stupidity of school district officials that violated McAllister’s rights. Perhaps it is time to stop indemnifying rogue government officials and let them pay for their actions from their own pockets. Watch McAllister making her incendiary remarks below.

Occupy Wall Street Facing Death at the Hands of the Weatherman

New York, NY—Soon the streets of New York and many other places know for brutal winters will become uninhabitable for the confusing unhygienic mix of Obama supporters begging for their 15 minutes of fame as occupiers of Wall Street.

The OWS relevancy is as confusing as their rambling rhetoric. Even the group’s spokespeople can’t seem to articulate their goals beyond their desire to disrupt. What they’ve accomplished was to bring new blight to local commerce and others trying to make a living near their local government sponsored encampments.

Thankfully the rain, cold, sleet and snow is on the way. They can be counted upon to leave their garbage and lots of damage behind as they seek shelter elsewhere.

The free food, drink and drugs they’ve enjoyed will disappear. The OWS distraction did provide some much needed protection for Obama from the nasty scandals that are finally devouring his administration.

I sincerely hope that the entire Obama Administration does not survive its first term. Barack Obama’s attempt to incite a Socialist Revolution has failed and he deserves to be purged from our Whitehouse for his Treason.

Occupy Wall Street was Funded by Taxpayers for Barack Obama’s Violent Revolution.

New York, NY—The unwashed crack heads, thugs and mentally ill legions of misfits assembled in our major cities are being funded by ACORN and the SEIU. The got their money from, guess who? You!

The major cities where the sub-human smelly outcasts are assembled and led by Socialist disciples of Barack Obama. Those politicians are aiding in effort to enlarge the protests to unmanageable sizes. This is nothing less than deliberate effort to invite massive violence by overwhelming police resources.

The goal is obvious to start a violent revolution that will bring Martial Law, and suspension of liberty and the upcoming election that would oust Obama.

These pathetic troublemakers can’t seem to verbalize their goals beyond the words on the printed signs they carry. They are simply waiting for their chance at looting, burning and sexual assault. Yes this is only about total anarchy for the participants of the protests.

For Obama and his minions this is simply about an effort to overthrow our form of government, the Constitution and the American way of life.

Americans better choose their side and prepare to lose friends, family members in a massive Civil War. Food, fuel and water will be interrupted and depravation and starvation will visit us until this Communist effort at revolution is put down.

Obama is gearing up for war on Iran and now he’s sent our children to fight in Uganda in a number so small they are vastly outnumber and seriously endangered.

Frankly I can only see Barack Obama as America’s most dangerous enemy. He must be removed, arrested, tried and punished for treason. God help us all.

L.A. Superior Court Judges are Unreasonable to Celebrities.

Los Angeles, CA—Sometimes celebrities fail and wind up charged with a crime. Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are some examples. There are others like Kelsey Grammer and Hugh Grant that have posed for the police booking camera for minor events that have proved to be major personal embarrassments.

The judges are quick to admonish the stars that they are not special and will suffer like anyone else. That always proves to be a big lie. Celebrities suffer so much more than the lesser known defendants before the bar of justice.

First and foremost, is the massive publicity surrounding any arrest of anyone famous. The paparazzi cameras assemble like flies on manure at the police stations and courthouses for a perp-walk or any glimpse of the hapless fallen star. Dealing with that kind of excessive humiliation has to take its toll on anyone.

The judges find community service options for the celebrities like the rest of us. In reality that’s cruel and unusual punishment since the celebrities are forced to mingle with ordinary offenders and are forced to suffer lots of unwanted attention from them. Community service usually consists of menial duties such as garbage picking along roads and cleaning government structures.

Paparazzi photographers are paid handsomely for pictures of celebrities in degrading or other photos and video of them being punished.

Because criminal defendants usually come from the lowest rung of society they have few skills that can be utilized. They are also considered untrustworthy and prone to committing crimes during their court ordered activities.

Community service means just that. It makes much more sense to take the extra step and match the defendant to the service by virtue of their skills and beneficial impact on the community.

Lindsay Lohan for example should be doing PSA’s or entertaining returning disabled veterans, special needs children or something else of value. That would be legitimate work with zero financial return for the celebrity.

Obama Needs Another War

Washington, DC—The latest alleged terror plot broken by the FBI smells of entrapment and government supplied arms and explosives. The Obama Justice Department is lying because Eric Holder’s lips are moving.

This is the prelude for waging war against Iran. Obama needs this to repair the serious rift between Obama and Jewish voters. How many American lives must be extinguished before Obama can regain political capital?

The signs are all present and our military is being realigned as I report about the coming horror.

I can’t imagine that more nations will become embroiled in this new conflict. Will this become World War Three? That’s happening, as we are moving ever closer to a Civil War on our own soil. I somehow am wondering if a 2012 Presidential election will even happen. Will Obama simply try and grab power as the first American dictator?

Slaughter at Seal Beach

Seal Beach, CA—In this beautiful seaside bedroom community of 24,000 residents the unthinkable happened today. Police responded to a 1:21 PM call of shots fired at Salon Meritage on the 500 block of Pacific Coast Highway. So far eight of nine victims her were shot are dead. The ninth victim clings to life in critical condition at a local hospital.

Police followed a middle-aged suspect who was driving a white Toyota pick up truck. During a felony style police stop at 12th & Central he was discovered armed with semi-automatic pistols and loaded magazines. Under his shirt he was wearing a dark blue protective vest, and police SWAT style shin guards. He was also wearing blue police style cargo pants. So far police are silent about the man’s identity. The silence alone says volumes about the suspect and his occupation.

As of now at 6:00 PM police are pretending they don't know the suspect's identity but they are currently processing his home as a crime scene. Neighbors describe the suspect as a quiet and private man.

Judging by the suspect’s unusual effectiveness with the handgun used and the type of equipment involved he appears to be a well-trained law enforcement officer.

Employees and people familiar with the salon claimed that one of the victims was involved in an acrimonious relationship with a man suggesting that this relationship became the motive for the carnage.

I am waiting for a call from authorities handing the investigation.

Update:
Police said Scott Dekraai, 41 of Huntington Beach, CA, is the suspected gunman. It’s believed that Dekraai had targeted his ex- wife, Michelle Fournier. Since their 2007 divorce they’d been fighting over child custody. Fournier recently sought a restraining order against the suspected gunman.

Dekraai worked in maritime related employment and has a military background. He has apparently no law enforcement employment or training.

Terrorism Plot Foiled, So Says DOJ…

Washington, DC—The terror plots “uncovered” by our fearless alphabet police all have an odor to them. It seems as the cases unravel that it’s the government agents and their informants that plant the idea and even help finance the plots. There are always plenty of feeble minded people that love the attention they’re getting from their new friends and will follow them to Hell.

Frankly trusting government is simply a bad idea. Trusting the Obama Administration is turning out to be the worst idea ever.

Janet Napolitano will do anything to justify billions wasted on liberty shredding programs including entrapment and provoking incidents. Our government has lost any
credibility whatsoever.

The terror waged created by our own government against us is what needs to be stopped cold

Flying High in the Video Information Age

New York, NY--There’s a video visionary that has trained many in the changing world of newsgathering and filmmaking. Out of dire financial circumstances TV news organizations have had to do much more with so much less. With the help of amazing new video cameras, and that great Apple software program Final Cut Pro local TV news has avoided extinction.

The equipment necessary to make great visually pleasing video now cots a small fraction of what it used too. It used to take a bare minimum photographer, video editor and reporter along with hours to put together a single one minute-thirty second news story. There are of course the sound and lighting people and always, big advantages to having multi-camera shoots. However there are also lots of tricks that a single video journalist can do make his or her product look terrific.

Today it can be done well by one person. The days of reporters waiting for their turn in a video editing bay with an editor are over. A quiet place to sit with your MacBook Pro, voiceover microphone and headphones is all you need. Of course you need to spend some time learning how to make the magic from a real pro.

Michael Rosenblum is the founder of Rosenblum TV and the New York Video School. He has trained reporters and producers in video news gathering and editing to the chagrin of so many career video photographers and editors. Jobs in the news business have been threatened and the layoffs have hit nearly every market.

In the news business these days it’s not unusual to see photographers and even editors reporting on camera instead of staying behind it. The job descriptions are rapidly changing and they want everyone cross-trained for TV, and the breakout video Internet content providers.

The NYVS has trained in newsrooms across the country, United Nations workers and news organizations in Geneva. They certainly can train you too.

A close friend of mine is an American Airlines pilot who is rapidly approaching retirement. He is a comedian, actor, photographer, editor and producer. He built his own green screen studio and will not be idle when he gets his retirement walking papers. I know he will move forward with a vengeance having an excellent adventure all the way. He is now a student of the NYVS developing his skills for prime time.

Most of my blog visitors know of my TV background as an investigative producer but now I carry my TV studio in two bags. I will never stop learning to do the exciting things I love. My limitation is in blog promotion and funding needed to gather the material I think my visitors want.

Delta Airlines Captain John Roberts like my friend is gearing of for his second life as a filmmaker too. He’s off to a great start as a NYVS graduate and his travel perks he is about to launch a travel program to beat all others. Roberts is a pioneer and example for everyone.

Today anyone can use learned video skills that promote our own businesses or employer’s products and show the world those things you’re proud of doing.

Delta Airlines would be foolish not to simply underwrite Capt. Roberts and make sure his program is seen everywhere. Right now you can see some of his fine work on board Delta flights as your strapped in your seat waiting to arrive at you destination.

Sit back and watch some video magic:

The So-Called Occupation Demonstrators were assembled to Create Obama’s Excuse for Suspending the Constitution

They're in most major cities right now. They’ve been recruited for this mission because they’re Barack Obama’s loyal storm troopers from the SEIU, Moveon.org and ACORN. They are milling around with non-specific, confusing and mixed agendas.

They simply are trying to gather enough people to openly disrupt our commerce and economy further. If they can assemble more people they will have enough to create massive insurrections.

We can expect looting, burning and murders if they manage to get sufficient manpower to neutralize local police. If Obama’s thugs have the numbers they know that the police will be ordered by their Democratic Party mayors to stand back and watch forcing Americans to take the law into their own hands.

Business owners and people trying to earn their living at some point will turn on Obama’s thugs returning their violence in spades. That will give Obama the excuse to suspend the Constitution and declare Martial Law. Elections will also be suspended keeping Obama in power.

That move will bring the Civil War that Obama and his socialist minions are itching to begin. Obama knows that either he pulls this off or his dark shadow over our government will end.

What Obama does not understand is that the military training of millions of honorable veterans along with well-armed and trained civilians will crush his undisciplined thugs.

I doubt that our military and police will follow Obama’s orders to fire upon fellow Americans. There will be serious population control and perhaps a million fewer Entitlement Zombies sucking blood from their neighbors.

Caught in the middle will be lots of young folks that have neither the skills nor inclination to fight for survival. The Ipod and YouTube Generation will scurry around like frightened sheep unable to cope with food, water and Internet interruptions. Cell-phones service will be restricted or shut down too.

Rather than to invest in gold, lead and gun powder along with CB or family service walkie-talkie radios, batteries and non-perishable food will provide a much better return.

The Socialists and communists in our own government have placed Americans into a situation where they’ll once again have to answer the call for duty to protect and preserve their freedom. There will be no other fix unless we are willing to accept fascism.

Surviving Onion Field Killer Seeks Parole

Los Angles, CA—Gregory Powell is an exceptionally gifted paralegal, classy sounding gentleman and a frightening cold-blooded cop killer. He’s 76 years old and in failing health. Powell was a career criminal and a total waste of good sperm.

Powell escaped the death penalty and is currently serving one of those life sentences that do not necessarily mean life.

On October 18 Powell will face a California Parole board and with any luck he will get the same result he got a year ago, more tasty prison gruel.

Actor James Woods played Powell in the film based on Joe Wambaugh’s best selling book. Woods should have won an Academy award for his performance. Although the film was well-done and accurate, Powell blames the film on keeping him locked up nearly three decades longer than he would have had the film not been made and released. I’m sure he’s right.

Fellow killer and partner Jimmy Smith was somehow let out in 1983 only to repeatedly reoffend and put back behind bars. Finally in April of 2007 in custody at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, California he died of an apparent heart attack at age 76.

Powell was considered the mastermind and has yet to see the light of day outside prison.

There is little doubt that he’s not the man he was in 1963 and that prison has refined and educated him in the nearly 50 years he’s been caged. Powell is also a gifted writer that should be publishing books but has not chosen that vocation.

I could support parole for Powell if he was totally disabled and incapable of leaving his nursing home alone.

Frankly this is about the savage kidnapping, murder of one cop, Ian Campbell and the attempt to kill the other policeman, Karl Hettinger.

Powell has managed to outlive nearly everyone ever connected to that infamous case. He may already be the last man standing. Powell is one fellow that earned every bit of his punishment in spades.

As much as I hate the death penalty I’d have found satisfaction had he sucked lethal gas at San Quentin like he deserved.

I might be tempted to attend that parole hearing and bring my video camera if someone sponsored my trip. I’d love to post the entire hearing on this blog.

Having Too Much Fun With My Video Making Toys

West Hollywood, CA—Sunday I went to the West Hollywood Book Fair to visit with my long time friend who is a former TV reporter who is now a true crime author. Camille Kimball has two spellbinding books out on sensational Phoenix Arizona crime stories you can learn about at www.camillekimball.com.

I would have videotaped their interesting panel discussion however they put this bunch with a floor to celling solid glass wall behind them on a really bright day. That made the lighting conditions impossible.

I did however put this unsavory looking bunch in a line-up figuring they may be wanted or hopefully at least the exciting books they are peddling.

Here are the Usual Suspects:

Massive Legal Blunder by Defense Lawyer is Aiding Conrad Murray’s Prosecution

Los Angeles, CA—We are all used to seeing videos and hearing audiotapes of suspects being grilled by the police. The suspects squirm, lie or give investigators information that helps them foreclose on the suspect’s defense options. You never see defense lawyers present during these interrogations because they would never allow that to happen.

We live in a great country that gives us all an absolute right not to answer cop’s questions. The reality is only a tiny percentage of suspects are savvy enough to keep their mouths shut and ask for a lawyer.

Conrad Murray actually had a lawyer who offered his client up for a police grilling. This mistake is beyond jaw dropping in its effect on criminal lawyers everywhere. The jury is about to hear prosecutors play the interview recording as his red-faced lawyers have to deal with the blunder.

There may be a slightest benefit for Murray in that the unsworn testimony he gave investigators may make his taking the stand during the trial unnecessary. The defense attorneys can tell the jury, “You’ve all heard what Dr. Murray had to say.”

I’ve yet to hear the interview or read the transcript but if it wasn’t damaging the state would not be using it against him. My question is if his lawyer simply gagged Murray would they even have succeeded in indicting him?

The truth is if every suspect was able to take back their statements to police the jails and prisons would be nearly empty.

We live in a police state and talking to them can even cost you your life even if you are absolutely innocent.

Why I Distrust and Fear Barack Obama

Washington, DC—Barack Obama campaigned on an “open government” but he’s reneged and has been more secretive and divisive that any president. Rather than address our economy he has given away our treasury to Wall Street crooks, failed automakers and criminal organizations such as ACORN.

Obama has perverted the purpose and mission of the Department of Homeland Security to target his political opposition and to wean Americans off of their liberty and freedom. The Obama sanctioned actions of Secretary Janet Napolitano are frightening and treasonous. They have brought us government tyranny and economic collapse rather than to control or effect terrorism to the slightest degree.

Homeland Security’s only success was to divert millions of Americans from air travel with devastating consequences to the entire tourism industry by their intrusive and criminal fondling.

Obama knows he can’t get reelected and he’s maneuvering the nation into an insurrection with his instigation and support of the ACORN and SEIU thugs that have begun an occupation of major city financial centers. It’s becoming obvious to me that Obama wants a groundswell of violence to spread far and wide enough to suspend the Constitution and declare Martial Law.

The election set to remove Obama would be jeopardized, delayed and perhaps deemed by the new occupation as unnecessary and dangerous to government operation.

The declaration of Martial Law will cause millions of Americans to react by waging war against the Obama Administration and their supporters. What we will have is a full Civil War and total anarchy.

Obama will gamble that his army of Entitlement Zombies, African-Americans and Socialists will murder enough civilized Americans loyal to the Constitution and the American way of life to succeed. If that is insufficient Obama will bring in foreign troops from Socialist nations to assist him in his coup d'état.

Let me say we elected a stranger with a Socialist rather than traditional American loyalty to our heist office. His oath to protect and defend or Constitution was nothing less than a giant fraud. He’s very citizenship remains a mystery and the radical Communists that he has surrounded himself with should make the actions I expect from him a surprise. God help us all.

Government Tyranny Has Not Stopped Terrorism

Washington, DC—There are terrorists in our world but your chances of being a casualty have always been more remote than being struck by lightening.

Our politicians have gone on a wild a spending orgy as they have suspended our rights under the Fourth and Second Amendments.

The TSA and the billions blown on crap that does nothing more than fill political campaign coffers with contributions from government contractors. The TSA has not stopped a single terrorist attempt but more than once alert and brave airline passengers have.

We have allowed the Congress and various state legislatures to trade our hard won liberty for the illusion of security. That also comes with a staggering price tag for taxpayers.

What we’ve done is to invite government tyranny which is much worse that the terrorism and they enslaved us to pay for the police state we allowed them to create.

The Patriot Act violates our privacy as the FBI and BATFE has routinely engaged in despicable criminal conduct such as the deadly, Fast and Furious and Gun Walker scandals.

Have we have forgotten how government thugs waged war on the Branch Davidians because they peacefully exercised their Second Amendment rights at their house of worship in Waco, Texas? The phony tip that they had an unregistered .50 caliber machinegun was never substantiated. Our Government murdered scores of men, women and children. Calling the shots of the Waco Massacre was none other than Eric Holder.

The TSA bureaucracy is truly a meaningless exercise since terrorists with either a boat or a truck could launch a small ground to air missile targeting our commercial aircraft at low altitudes during takeoffs and landings. That’s precisely what happened to TWA Flight 800 off of New York. The Clinton Administration covered that up to avoid giving credit to our Muslim enemies.

We have to say no to Barack Obama and his Chief Liberty Hater, Janet Napolitano. We must do whatever it takes to win back our stolen liberty. The problem is history says that can’t be done without some serious bloodshed. If that’s what it takes, so be it.

What we have now is a police state and terrorism.

I Owe Steve Jobs…

Chicago, Il—I was always a PC guy more because Apple did not use a lot of special software I needed for investigative projects. Things have changed and now Apple can fill most of my needs.

Today I have a small MacBook Pro, Itouch, Iphone but I lust for an IPad. I’m also at an age where the heavy lifting is behind me. I’m now slowly moving to investigative documentary filmmaking.

Rather than just despise filmmaker Michael Moore I can now compete with him and give another view of our world. Moore’s voice will never stand alone.

Recently I acquired the MacBook Pro along with Final Cut Pro software and an incredible high definition JVC camera. I’ve become empowered to create films. Aside from the lighting equipment and wireless microphones I already owned for around $5,000.00 I have everything I need aside from a major film studio, vast prop and wardrobe warehouse.

I need not rely on others to make the films I want to make.

I am almost overwhelmed with the ease I can create video content that would have required a quarter-million dollars and a difficult learning process.

IMovie is absolutely amazing and comes with every Apple computer but Hollywood’s industry standard for editing is Final Cut Pro. In the past I have used other software designed for the PC but it does not hold a candle to FCP.

Apple has changed my life for the better. Having the raw power to take moments in time and preserve them along with the ability share my dreams with the world is quite awesome.

Thank you to Steve Jobs and so many others that are going to prevent me from being idle in my old age.

Here are three starter videos I made made with this amazing technology and Final Cut Pro X:

The Death Penalty Enables Government Tyranny

No matter what your politics there are those politicians you loathe and even fear. Josef Stalin, Adolph Hitler, Mao Ze Dong, Fidel Castro and Pol Pot all began with broad smiles and firm handshakes. They gained power and were able to make public policy in secret. They were all mass murderers whose crimes were made legal by the death penalty.

Do you want to give the politicians you hate the power to kill you? If you support the death penalty that’s exactly what you’ve done!

We are killing people on guesses as to their culpability in those notorious and despicable crimes.

Cops have incredible power to frame people. All they need to do is remove an item or two from your trash and deposit it along with your DNA contained on the items at a murder scene. Far fetched you say? Think again about the bloody glove at the O.J. Simpson home. It was found by a cop, who was later convicted of Perjury at the murder trial! Can you trust evidence enough to rely upon it to kill people?

In the late 1960’s murders were solved and cleared by arrest at between 80 and 85 percent. Today that has dropped to below 35 percent. What happened because we now have so much greater technology?

Yes, we have surveillance cameras, DNA and incredible data sources made available by cell phones, credit, debit and now government entitlement cards.

The new technology exonerates many more people that it implicates. Far fewer unreliable eyewitness identifications are convicting innocents. Of course we still make huge mistakes destroying lives in the process.

The death penalty does not mend the lives of those devastated by the murder of their loved ones. It certainly does not bring back the dead or anything positive. There is a sense of retribution but it seems so lost as we put condemned killers to sleep in such comfort on a clean soft bed. Frankly spending life doing hard time in a nasty prison is real punishment.

Violent crime needs to be interrupted on our streets not by government but by people refusing to be victims. Laws have improved nearly everywhere allowing ordinary citizens the right to get training and carry a gun for self-defense. That’s a deterrent and that takes the guesswork out of the guilt of people out committing mayhem.

The death penalty costs taxpayers on the average millions in legal resources to exercise. Feeding them gruel and confining them is so much cheaper and punitive.

Reporter Bullied Over her Story About the Deadly Obama Gun Running Program.

Washington, DC—The frightening facts have been slowly been exposed to the light that the Obama Justice Department has been using stimulus money to arm Mexico and Central America’s most violent criminal with weapons from licensed gun dealers.

The government officials deliberately allowed known criminals to bypass the Brady Background Checks and buy thousands of guns with tax funds for transfer to the wrong side of the Drug War.

Hundreds have been murdered with the Obama guns including two federal agents.

Why you ask? It was to create a carnage crisis that would influence people to accept Obama’s plans to sign a United Nations Treaty that would circumvent our Second Amendment.

BATFE agents that remembered their oaths to the U.S. Constitution mattered more than protecting a Whitehouse despot betrayed Obama and his minions.

Most recent revelations made it obvious that Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress in addition to stonewalling and withholding documents demanded by Congress.

The Obama Justice Department has tried to intimidate and terrorize Sharyl Attkisson a CBS investigative reporter that has covered the deadly scandal. Attkisson revealed that Obama Justice Department employed thugs screamed and swore at her for doing her job.

Intimidation of lady reporters is something right out of the Third Reich. This should scare the Hell out of every American.

We must not tolerate the criminal behavior of Obama, Eric Holder and the thugs he’s employed. They all must be removed purged, arrested, tried and punished.
