Sex sells, just ask Michael Lacy founder of The New Times.

Phoenix, Arizona – – The prosecution began nearly six years ago and has still never ended.  The fall from Grace, was beyond epic for two self-made multimillionaire editors, Michael Lacy and the late, James Larkin.

The pair were founders of The Phoenix New Times and it’s 17 sister publication around the country.  The publications were legendary for their long form print articles that exposed political, police or government corruption and made lots of journalistic waves.  

The Press awards the pair collected were indeed in the thousands. Of course, they made enemies along the way like the late Senator, John McCain, and his wife, Cindy, who was a convicted of stealing narcotics from her non-profit organization to feed her addiction. 

The New Times ran story after story, exposing serious corruption within the Phoenix Police Department, Maricopa County Sheriff, Maricopa County Attorney and the Arizona Department of Public Safety.  

On the back page of their publication were the ads.  The World Wide Web soon hosted those ads that were somewhat sexually suggestive in character, but were carefully crafted to avoid the elements of prostitution crimes. 

Technology and the internet came along and changed everything.  The world’s oldest profession is practiced by people of all ages, sexes and perversions.When it comes to the sex trade, unfortunately the pimps, madams and sex traffickers invite themselves into the profits.   There are victims in that children are no small part of the sex trade.  Adults make their own decisions on what they are willing to do to pay their rent and put food on their tables. 

The First Amendment to our constitution, generally protects publishers and writers.  However, there are a load of ambiguous, vague and complicated legal decisions that limit the constitutional protections.  

New Times, founders, Michael Lacey, and James Larkin, followed the success of, Craig’s List to get on the profits by letting anyone and everyone post their ads on Back Page. 

The conventional wisdom seemed to provide a path to publish the carefully crafted ads avoiding any direct message that sex could be purchased with cash.  That to most people would indicate running the ads seemed legal. If there was to be a crime, it would occur later between the customer and the advertiser after they met.  Seems simple enough, right? 

In the end it all depends upon the appointed Moral Authorities, and their personal, religious and what their government raw powers dictate.

Does any prosecution also involve the government officials that were exposed by Lacy and Larkins publications? Personally, I can’t see a stronger motive to destroy the powerful New Times publications. The entire prosecution reeks of revenge for the accused pair’s exposing corruption.

In April 2018, a swarm of federal agents, raided the homes and offices of both Lacey and Larkin.  An indictment followed, charging them with at least 100 offenses related to the suggestion that Back Page was nothing more than a sex trafficking tool and cash cow.

Lacy and Larkin faced hundreds of years in prison.  They were released on $1 million bail each and forced to wear ankle monitors.  

They were eventually tried, but jurors were unable reach a verdict.  So the government geared up to try them again. James Larkin eventually folded into the disease of depression, and shot himself to death.  Michael Lacy chose to continue the fight. He was only convicted in the second trial of a single count involving supposed money laundering. Left hanging were 98 counts where the second jury could not reach a verdict.

The single count conviction carries with it a 20-year prison sentence.  Since Lacey is now 75 years-old It is unlikely he may ever see freedom again. Lacey has not yet been sentenced, nor have the post trial motions been adjudicated.  The question of retrial on the 98 counts is still an option, being weighed by prosecutors. 

This prosecution cost taxpayer many millions of dollars and the defense costs were also record setting.  In the nearly six years that have past, the Michael Lacey of today can only be a shell of the man he once was. 

My thoughts are that it is time to end this mess without further punishment or wasted funds.  Back Page is long out of business.  The reality is that the involved sex workers have found other sources of advertising and are still selling their bodies doing business as usual.  The world’s oldest profession continues on non-stop despite the best efforts of the, Moral Authorities. 

Mysteriously gone today, are any meaningful investigative press  reports of government crime, or corruption.  I guess the news organizations have learned a lot from Lacy and Larkin.

Christina Pascucci is running for the California Senate to replace Dianne Feinstein but she refuses to take a single position

Los Angeles, CA— Former television news reporter, Christina Pascucci is running her campaign to replace the late Dianne Feinstein.  Pascucci has a pleasing appearance, voice, and speaking ability.  After all she is accomplished, TV, news reporter.  Apparently she’s running on that alone.  

So far, Pascucci’s platform has been to tell us to California has problems, and she intends to fix them. But that is exactly where it all ends.  She refuses to tell us just how she’s going to fix them and how much it’s going to cost us.

She is not taking a position dealing with the illegal immigration invasion. She won’t tell us how she intends to deal with mental illness, homelessness, crime, gun rights, and for that matter any issue at all.

It appears that Christina is running on her smile and we’re supposed to believe that she is going to do all the right things. She says she’s a Democrat.  But is she an insane crazy left-winger or is she a conservative Democrat. 

I’m sorry,  I just can’t find a single reason to vote for her. I’m looking for a somewhat conservative Democrat.  Is she crazy like our Governor Gavin Newsom Or the other worthless Democrats that are holding office despite their persistent and massive failures?  

Christina, you should at least show enough courage to tell us how you will  handle the of the job of United States Senator.   Hiding behind your smile, it’s not cutting it, please tell us who you are.

UPDATE!

Pascucci has responded to me personally about this article I wrote. She’s not happy with it and I can understand that.  She tells me that she has posted material on her positions, but I have just not been blessed with seeing them.  I have asked her for links, and perhaps she will send some and I will update further.

What she has called positions are rather vague. For example, her position on gun control is her trap sport shooting & Seeming to enjoy it, but that doesn’t tell us what she feels about concealed weapons requirements for permission, slip permits, or the so-called assault, rifles, and magazines.  She must support the second amendment or not. If she wants to change the second amendment to eliminate certain gun rights, we need to know that too..

This wasn’t intended to be a hit piece but just a way to learn about her solutions.  Whatever her solutions are, whether I agree with them or not I want to thank her for her personal response during this incredibly busy time for her.

The presidential election of 2020 was nothing less than a bloodless Communist, coup d'é·tat.

Washington, DC—Because of the China virus, the normal minimal safeguards for election integrity were taken down by unprecedented mail-in ballots.  The normal safeguards to prevent fraud were removed along with any meaningful transparency.  

Unfortunately, the heaviest fraud was in the blue and swing states.  Since their local Leftist judges refused any and all efforts to allow transparency such as ballot inspection the election tampering was successfully covered up.  

Was it a Communist coup d'é·tat you ask?  All you have to do is look at the installed, communist puppet and his treasonous policies.  The most egregious act that allowed many millions of unvetted and economically motivated illegal aliens to enter our nation.  These people when given the ability to vote like they have in New York City, will only vote for the politicians offering of free housing, EBT cards, Obama phones and medical care.  They’ve now allowed illegal aliens to become cops giving more military strength to the Communist conspirators.

We all know from history, that Communism can only survive with a huge ignorant, poor and easily manipulated population.   That has been fully accomplished. 

The installed China puppet has been free to mandate whatever his coup conspirators dictated.  Virtually every act by the dictated be puppet’s handlers has bankrupted and weakened America, allowing for a total Communist takeover.  Every appointed military general is easily corrupted by the Communists appointing them.

The January 6 patriots simply wanted transparency in the 2020 election and pushed back when that was not forthcoming.  

Our country is a serious crossroads. Any election that mirrors 2020’s mischief will and should be met with a very bloody Civil War.  

Our elections must be free from fraud and totally transparent.  The lack of any legitimate identification requirements and signature matching, facilitated by mail-in or drop off ballots must be ended.  The China virus created “election rules” must end now.

Artificial Intelligence and Government Control

 

Los Angeles--Artificial intelligence is here to stay, like it or not. This incredibly powerful tool obviously can outthink any human and solve essentially any problems at all.  I reasonably suspect that diseases like diabetes, cancer and ageing will eventually be cured by this exciting new technology.

 

Artificial intelligence has the potential to make anybody a lawyer physician, accountant or virtually any occupation if they know how to use its powerful tools.  

 

Frankly many of our politicians are absolutely terrified because of the power it will give to, we the people that they may have serious difficulty controlling.  I suspect that the politicians want to frighten everyone into surrendering control of this amazing tool to them exclusively.

 

We don't yet know all the potential of artificial intelligence by a long shot. I fully expect to Continue to be amazed in the next decade. 

 

Artificial intelligence may prove to be more powerful than even the Second Amendment for Americans to use defending themselves from the government.

 

The only logical thing for Americans to do is to stop all attempts to let the government control Who can use or access artificial intelligence.  We know we cannot trust government and in fact you can research it by simply getting the question answered of what percentage of governments on earth become repressive, evil and incredibly corrupt. I think the answer is 100% if you look at the history books.

LA County Sheriff Robert Luna is a Classless Thug

 Los Angeles, CA—It was anyone’s worst nightmare.  Vince Ricci arrived home to be attacked by two armed intruders Hell bent on a home invasion.  Ricci had previously qualified for a carry permit by completing all of the strict and patently unconstitutional hurdles designed to keep him unarmed by actually getting the carry permit.  

Within milliseconds the attackers rushed Ricci and  pointed their guns at at him but Ricci quickly drew his own gun and began furiously fighting for his and his family’s lives.  Ricci fired shots and the cowardly gunmen quickly retreated.  Nobody was physically injured.  Ricci acted in lawful self-defense.  As for the two thugs they escaped and will remain free until they get caught doing this to some other hapless victim. 

The incident was caught on surveillance video so we need not guess how this violent crime went down.  You can imagine the immediate emotional state Ricci was going through after such a traumatic event.  The Sheriff’s reaction was to suspend/revoke Ricci’s gun permit!  

Now Sheriff Luna responds that Ricci can reapply for a permit and of course go through all the steps as he waits months for a reapproval that may or may not come.  

Luna should be sued for violating Ricci’s Civil Rights including the denial for Fifth Amendment Due Process for not proving a hearing for Ricci on the matter.

In the meantime Lunatic Luna has strongly and vindictively advertised to the would be home invaders that Ricci and his family can be murdered now without resistance.  Luna has purposely placed these innocent lives is serious danger.  Luna’s malicious conduct here is beyond disgusting, despicable and reprehensible.

Did the Israel/Hamas War instigate a homicide in Thousand, Oaks, CA? Congressional candidate Bruce Boyer is investigating.

Thousand Oaks, CA—Paul Kessler, 69 was with others peacefully protesting the incredibly depraved October 7th Hamas attack on unarmed civilians that took, 1,400 innocent lives in Israel. Kessler was carrying an Israeli flag and was allegedly killed by a pro-Palestinian activist, Loay Alnaji, 50 who teaches computer science at Ventura County Community College.   

According to witness, Jonathan Oswaks,  Alnaji and others were conducting surveillance on Kessler.  He further said that upwards of 40 adult, pro-Palestinian men allegedly surrounded Kessler while Alnaji struck the elderly, Paul Kessler in the head with a heavy megaphone.  The presence of the other men made it difficult for Israeli demonstrators to see the attack.  As a direct result of the blow, Kessler fell striking his head on the sidewalk.  Kessler died a few hours later at a local hospital.  

The matter is currently under investigation by the Ventura County Sheriffs Department, and the Ventura County District Attorney.  Officials said that both sides of the Israeli and Palestinian groups gave conflicting accounts of the incident.

Sheriff’s investigators obtained and served a search warrant on Alnaji’s home seizing his electronic devices and other evidence. They’re obviously looking for communications between Alnaji and others to determine if there was any planning or collusion.  

Republican District 26 Congressional Candidate, Bruce Boyer has taken on his own investigation of the attack.  The FBI has given specific warnings for us to expect Hamas sympathetic terrorist acts on our soil and Boyer wants to know if this crime related to that warning. 

The key questions Boyer said that need answers are, was this a criminal homicide that included a Hate Crime and felony Elder Abuse? 

Boyer said he’s preparing for Congress as a proactive lawmaker with his finger always on the pulse of District 26. He feels must stay informed to properly tend to the needs of the voters.  

Boyer interviewed kessler’s companion, Jonathan Oswaks and here is that unedited interview. 

On November 16, Loay Alnaji, of Moorpark, was arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter in the death of 69-year-old Paul Kessler. Alnaji's bail will be set at $1 million, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. No mention was about a hate crime or elder abuse charges. 

World War III is here, are you ready?

Today we’ve seen hundreds of thousands Hamas supporting Palestinians, demonstrating and screaming, hateful threats at us and European nations.  The Palestinian mobs in New York were particularly vile and dangerous.  That tells us we can expect deadly mass attacks by these depraved monsters at any moment. 

There is no way that our law-enforcement agencies could actually handle these kinds of situations. Our cops are going to need all of our help they can get.  Also get trauma kits while you still can.  Watch the first aid YouTube videos that will show you how to use the material.  There will be fuel, water, food and medicine shortages. 

When attacks occur we must remember the rules of engagement change to war rules that allow for back shots and other desperate measures. With the multitudes of hateful Hamas supporters there will most certainly be attacks with guns, bombs, arson and using trucks to attack crowds. Many will want to become Islamic martyrs, sacrificing their own lives. 

We must pay strict attention and understand that we must ignore all gun laws.  I fully expect Iran to get involved soon since they know our government has never been weaker, and they can see the massive amount of hostile Muslims that are already here ready to carry out their despicable threats.  

The Difficult Lessons of Gun Control

Los Angeles, CA—Gun control zealots live in a land of make believe.  They generally live in safe neighborhoods, drive reliable automobiles to their jobs in safe buildings.  Most have very little or no training regarding the defensive use of firearms.  They have been brainwashed by Hollywood films into believing that the police will respond instantly to their calls for help.  Unfortunately ignorance rules what they want to force on you and your family. 

The sad truth in a life threatening event, it can take valuable minutes before you can actually reach a 911 operator.  The 911 operator then gives a police dispatcher that second hand information who then gives that now third hand information to the cops.  The cops must safely travel to and actually find the location.  

When the cops arrive the damage has already been done and the criminals have fled.   The cops then arrange to remove the injured or their remains.  They write the required reports.  It often becomes more complicated when victims and witnesses lie to the cops about the events.  Cops are then forced to guess who is telling the truth. 

Most robberies, rapes and murders take place outside the safety of your home! The gun free zone mall parking lots and other places are serious crime prone locations.   

Cops have been defunded and castrated by politicians.  Also most people are unaware that the US Supreme Court has ruled that cops have NO duty to protect you! 

You can either call a cop to bring his gun and help you or you can have your own gun and hopefully the training to use it effectively.  With any luck you can do both.  

We have no choice but to take a lesson from the October 7th depraved attack on Israeli citizens by Hamas murderers.  Israel had very strict gun bans in place that precluded any meaningful self-help.  They were told to build “safe rooms”in lieu of using firearms.  Sadly, we now know how that worked out.  

Israel’s politician’s thinking was beyond mind boggling.  That’s especially bizarre when you know how years earlier millions of Jews had their property unlawfully confiscated and were put on railroad freight cars straight to death camps.   There was nearly zero resistance from the disarmed and later murdered Jews.  

Why do we let government steal the the natural gift of fear and the instinct for survival from us?  Why do we obey gun laws at all, giving up our only fighting chance to live? 

Why is gun control a political issue at all, beyond the politician’s desire to exercise total control over the people they rule?  They promise public safety, that they cannot possibly deliver!  Look at the incredibly miserable failures of Israel’s October 7th, Columbine High School or the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.  

Ask yourself when have the police ever arrived in time to stop a murder, Rape or robbery after a 911 call other than on a fictional TV program? 

I will end this with, don’t ever let a politician stand between you and your  Constitutional rights to protect you and your loved ones with the most effective weapons available!
