Justice in this country has always been for the privileged. The nation’s criminal courts are particularly punitive toward those who are too poor to afford bail, represented by overworked public defenders or simply not rich enough to mount an “affluenza” defense. From arrest to conviction, wealth and whiteness are precious assets for any defendant in a system that favors both. Numerous jurisdictions profit off fines and fees that nickel and dime the poor into debtors’ prisons. And then there are Southern California’s “pay-to-stay” jails, which offer more monied inmates nicer accommodations in exchange for cash.   Continue reading “In America, Prisoners with Money Can Pay Their Way to a Nicer Stay”

Before his death in 1999, an OSS special agent openly talked about his role in incapacitating Gen. George S. Patton (1885-1945) via a staged automobile fender bender on Dec. 9, 1945. Using the pandemonium of the traffic collision as a distraction, agent Douglas DeWitt Bazata sniped Patton in the neck with a specially made gun firing a non-piercing bolt. Patton survived the incident with a dislocation of a vertebrae and never knew what hit him.   Continue reading “Patton Assassinated to Suppress His Criticism of Post-War Policy”

Juanita Broaddrick, the now-75-year-old retired nurse, has alleged former President Bill Clinton raped her during his 1978 campaign for Arkansas governor, and that his wife Hillary Clinton helped him cover it up.

The evolution of the movie “The Post” (2017) — a story about The Washington Post’s 1970s battles with government over its publication of classified information relating to the Vietnam War and Pentagon Papers — reportedly goes something like this: It was a screenplay authored by Jewish writers Liz Hannah and Josh Singer, who presented it to Jewish film producer Amy Pascal, who decided it would “be a great story to tell.” Pascal then procured Jewish film director Steven Spielberg to make the movie.

(Interesting footnote: Pascal’s father was an economic researcher at RAND Corporation, a military-industrial complex contractor and think tank.)   Continue reading “Spielberg Movie ‘The Post’ Omits Newspaper’s Deep State Connections to The Georgetown Cesspool”
