Publisher's Note: This publication receives no financial support through advertising.  Although shaken down, looted, and abused by corrupt government, area businesses remain unwilling to stand up.  Locals are too gutless to donate financially, cowardly fearing retribution.  For this publication to survive, national readers need to contribute.  Liberty In Peril is, has been, and will always remain beholden to NO ONE. -- Precisely why there is no financial assistance.  ... From day of launch and certainly a no-brainer to this very day, firmly resolved to walk away first rather than compromise principle. -- To the chagrin of many and delight of few.    T.C. (5-7-13).


For new readers:  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

No matter what, no matter where, this publication will remain up and running.  For it to remain centered here, however, financial and/or material support must be provided.  Status quo, unsustainable. Time to step up.  Now.

... Hey, Sheriff? Is it true Llano County Attorney Becky Lange has advised you to stay out of the "Berardi Property Rights Denial-Damage To Pace Arrow-Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764" fiasco?  That right, Bill?  Isn't that obstruction of justice?  Also true your deputies have advised the Bolens to accept the status quo and not force the no-trespassing issue with Greene?  If so, isn't that also obstruction and official oppression?  When will you do your job, Bill?  As an elected official, you answer to the public, forget?  -- No honor?  ... No honor at all? If the foregoing allegations are indeed true, didn't you swear an oath to uphold the law and Constitution?  Why aren't you doing so?  No guts?

Your deputy has been accused of abusing authority.  What action have you taken other than ignore the complaint?  Why aren't both Rodriguez and the County Attorney under criminal investigation?  The County Attorney appears to be obstructing justice, accepting the word of Greene in lieu of two surveyor companies who strongly assert otherwise.  Both the County Attorney and District Attorney have ignored complaints.  Par for the course in Llano County, isn't it?  Failed to do their jobs.  No surprise there, right, Bill?  Both receiving 'special consideration' up to and/or including a bribe from Greene?  Regardless, clearly, no justice in Nazi Llano County.  Bottom line?  Desperate need for an outside criminal investigation.  Conveniently, forget?  This County is ruled by men, certainly not rule of law and the United States Constitution.

Precisely, why there is desperate need for a new federal agency whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, and prosecute criminal law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges in a special court whose only mandate would be to adjudicate such cases.  Total independence.  Until that happens, the criminal bastards who falsely believe they run and own this hell hole County will continue to do as they please.

Some salient quotes occurring later on in this edition vis a vis unfinished business County officials continue to ignore:

... "No justice.  Precisely, why there is desperate need for a new federal agency whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, and prosecute corrupt, abusive, criminal officers, prosecutors, and judges in a special court that would adjudicate only these cases.  Total independence.  The only way to rein in these criminals, particularly the murderers in blue.

Sadly, the achingly clueless bastards in law enforcement don't need a legitimate reason to kill.  Enjoy carte blanche to murder on the job.  Nearly always, with impunity.  ... Right, Sheriff?  Sue the living shit out of the jackbooted motherf--kers, the department, and the city.  Any officer engaged in, or threatening this kind of unnecessary violence needs to be criminally prosecuted.  Not protected and coddled.  Not put on paid leave, -- no more than a paid vacation.  Not sent home without pay to catch up on his beauty sleep.

Firing is egregiously insufficient.  How can the law enforcement community be trusted?  No foreign power, no terrorist organization, not even the criminal element presents a greater threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties than the criminal jackbooted bastards in law enforcement.  ... Right, Sheriff?  Madam County Attorney?  "Sonny Boy?"

These are extremely dangerous times for our formerly great country.  ... Hear the rumble?  An unwanted dreaded second American revolution catastrophically looming.  -- As our legislators and other government officials figuratively 'fiddle while Rome burns.'

Not good enough.  Nowhere near.  Short of an unwanted dreaded second American revolution, only one way for these atrocities to end.  Again, time for a new federal agency whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, prosecute corrupt, abusive, criminal officers, prosecutors, and judges in a special court whose sole function would be to adjudicate such cases.  Total independence.

Local  and state authorities are egregiously incapable of handling these cases. Tend to protect their own.  ... Right, Sheriff?  Goes with the territory, doesn't it, Bill?  Precisely, why there is no faith or trust in your criminal jackbooted bastards.  Local authorities here in Nazi Llano County have their heads figuratively, securely lodged so far up their clueless ass their eyeballs are turning inside out.  Protect and coddle your clueless, out of control officers.  Imagine that.

Unadulterated, blatant ongoing horse shit.  ... Right, Bill?  F--k these jackbooted bastards.  Aren't worth a crap.  Continually abrogate their oaths of office to protect and defend the United States Constitution.  ... Right, Sheriff?  Includes not only deputies, but the brass as well.  No principles.  No honor.  Lying, conniving, abusive, murderous jackbooted thieving thugs.  The American Civil Liberties Union needs to step up and represent the victims of abusive law enforcement.

To say nothing of innocent civilians all across our formerly great country who are victimized by abusive police.  Need far better representation than a public defender.  Forget?  It's how the bastards in government line government coffers.  All too often, looting the innocent.  Those on the bottom of the food chain.  ... Right, Sheriff?

No justice.  The American Way.  Nazi America.  When is this shit finally going to end?  All of it.  Wake up, Sheriff.  Again, where is dashcam video of the killing of Jeffrey Gray Wise, 52, of Austin by DPS and the Llano County Sheriff's Office?  Three hundred fifty eight weeks, now.  A goddamned disgrace.

Why are you still sitting on this information?  What are you hiding, Sheriff?  What is the identity of the officers who killed Wise?  Too gutless to release this information to the public that pays your salary and that of your goons?  Reportedly, there were three officers involved in the shooting.  Who the hell are they?

When will the goddamned 'law' 'enforcement' community finally stop making excuses for engaging in outrageous criminal activity including blatant murder, violent assault, sexual assault, theft, drug trafficking, etc.?  List can go on and on.  Protecting its own no matter what it does or doesn't do?  Convenient, isn't it, Sheriff?  Again, no foreign power, no terrorist organization, not even the criminal element presents a greater threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties than all branches and levels of government, -- including law enforcement.

Corruption within law enforcement remains an existential threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.  So what else is new?  ... Right, Bill?  Same old duplicitous, aggressively stupid shit occurs right here in Nazi Llano County.  ... Doesn't it, Sheriff?

Think it'll change any time soon?  Don't hold your breath, readers.  Not how things work in Nazi America, right, Sheriff?  Highly reminiscent of how your goons operate though, isn't it, Bill?  Forget?  'Stupid is as stupid does.'  F--ked up is f--ked up no matter where, no matter how.  Problem throughout all law enforcement.

Including right here in Nazi Llano County, right, Sheriff?  Too many officers clearly have their heads securely lodged where the sun seldom shines.  Egregious insanity continues to be perpetrated by the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue.  Ongoing issue.  All over our formerly great country.

Not just in Dallas as in the Guyger case, but all over the nation.  No end to it.  Surprised?  Why?  In today's increasingly national socialist climate anything goes, right, Bill?  Live in a de facto fascist police-state, quickly transitioning to the Trump nazi's Fourth Reich.  Certainly, a problem here in Nazi Llano County, isn't it, Sheriff?  Your goons, however, aren't held accountable when they egregiously f--k up.  Ever.

Precisely why you refuse to release information on your deputies to the long-suffering public? That is, employment history, criminal background, results of drug testing, etc..  ... Got to protect your criminal jackbooted thugs preying on the citizenry with virtual impunity, right, sir?

Equally pointedly, why hasn't Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 been held criminally accountable for egregious abuse of power involving denial of property rights to a Kingsland property owner?  To say nothing of consequent resultant physical damage done to a motor home on that property.  Why are you protecting this clueless son of a bitch, Sheriff?

Why hasn't he been prosecuted for official oppression?  Where is financial compensation for the damage this jackbooted piece of human excrement is responsible for? Ferociously pointedly, why are the District Attorney and the County Attorney continuing to protect this jackbooted piece of shit?  He and others like him present an exigent threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.

Equally to the point, why are your jackbooted pieces of human excrement refusing to enforce Berardi's property rights?  Your goons have failed to take action against Theresa Ahrens when she tore down a no trespassing sign and barrier on Berardi's property.  Have you, your goons, and/or Madam County Attorney been bribed by Johnny Greene?

Ahrens frequently drives all the way through Berardi's property.  Coup de grace?  When Berardi complained to Llano County Deputy Idle about the trespassing, the officer's response was insane.  Said the Sheriff told him to tell Berardi since Ahrens believes she owns his property she can't be charged with trespassing.  Perfect Catch-22, right, Sheriff?  You're not fit for office, Bill.  Bribed by Johnny Greene?

Why is Theresa Ahrens allowed by your goons to dictate what vehicles can and cannot be parked on Berardi's property?  Ahrens claims she has proof the property belongs to her where the vehicle was parked.  Has failed to produce it. Surveyors say otherwise.  Back up Berardi.  Yet, your jackbooted bastards refuse to enforce Berardi's property rights.  Why?  Somebody lining somebody's pockets, Sheriff?

Ms. Ahrens micro-mini portable 'house' is parked on an unused unmarked Llano County road.  Imagine that.  Madam County Attorney well-aware.  Has done nothing.  Shit squat.  Egregiously ignored her oath of office.  Someone bribing you, Becky?  Lining your pockets, Counselor?  Paying you not to sell the unused unmarked County road to Berardi?  Doesn't the County want and need the sale money, to say nothing of the resultant tax income?

No question, County and State agencies remain determinedly, concertedly, achingly incapable of criminal investigation of their own.  Precisely, why a new federal agency desperately needs to be created whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, prosecute corrupt, abusive, criminal officers, prosecutors, and judges in a special court whose sole function would be to adjudicate only such cases.  Total independence.  Certainly, go a long, long way to cleaning up this cess pool County.  Rein in the outrageously corrupt, abusive, achingly inept, self-serving assholes who run and own this hell hole.

Sheriff, you falsely claim the Kingsland County Commissioner has the authority to resolve this ongoing property rights issue.  Clearly, doesn't.  You, Madam County Attorney, and "Sonny Boy" are certainly an egregious impediment, continue to determinedly stonewall.  Someone's pockets are being lined.  Again, where's financial compensation for the damage Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 is directly responsible for to the Pace Arrow?  Why hasn't he been prosecuted for this damage, to say nothing of infringement of Berardi's property rights?  -- Just getting started, Sheriff.  Far more to come.

-- You're not doing your jobs, Sheriff.  You've got a loose vicious dog problem in Kingsland, Bill.  When will you and the troops finally do something about this ongoing issue?  Certainly, a recurring problem on Skyline, particularly on occasion at the intersection of Odessa.  Pedestrians, runners, and cyclists are at risk.  Too busy lining County coffers with bogus tickets?"


... Hey, Sheriff?  Reportedly, promote Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 to Sergeant?  If true, yet another classic example of survival of the unfittest in the law enforcement community.  Readers are reminded this is the very same idiot, clueless asshole responsible for thousands of dollars of damage to the Pace Arrow as reported in each edition of this publication.  Far more to Kingsland property owner James Berardi in a property dispute.  -- A dispute engineered by Johnny Greene, apparently financed by a bribe to the former County Attorney, current District Attorney, and Sheriff.  A federal investigation of Llano County government and the aforementioned allegedly corrupt and abusive bastards in this ongoing fiasco is desperately needed.  Tim Chorney.

Re:  Berardi Property Rights Denial-Damage To Pace Arrow-Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764

Counselor:

The enclosed emails were sent to the Llano County Attorney and Sheriff, respectively, vis a vis the above matter.  Remain unanswered.  The County Attorney appears to be protecting and defending the deputy at behest of Kingsland property owner Johnny Greene.  May have received some consideration from Greene up to and including a bribe.  Are the County Attorney, Greene, and the Deputy under criminal investigation?  If not, why not?

Re:  Berardi Property Rights Denial-Damage To Pace Arrow-Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764

Counselor:

As you're well aware, we have an outrageously corrupt, abusive, achingly inept Llano County Sheriff's Office here in Nazi Llano County.  Worse, you and your office aid and abet these SS jackbooted bastards in black.  The issue at the moment is the same it's been the last six months.

How is it two surveyor companies, the Appraisal District, the Tax Office, the Precinct 3 Commissioner, even the goddamned Sheriff himself now states Kingsland resident James Berardi owns the lots in contention all these months?

Yet, you ludicrously assert that's not the County's legal position.  It's not?  Why not?  You claim you're not a real estate expert.  Rather than accept the advice of two surveyor companies, the Precinct 3 Commissioner, the Appraisal District, the Tax Office, and even the Sheriff himself, you've inexplicably chosen to follow the advice of property owner Johnny Greene, -- who conveniently happens to be reportedly in the oil industry.

Question to be asked.  Could you have received any 'consideration' in return, -- up to and including a bribe?  Only way to know for sure is for the District Attorney to conduct a criminal investigation.  Apparently, there has been none.  If not, why not?

Equally pointedly, why hasn't Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 been held criminally accountable for egregious abuse of power involving denial of property rights to this Kingsland property owner?  To say nothing of consequent resultant physical damage done to a motor home on that property.

Our achingly useless, worthless, gutless Sheriff has ignored an email vis a vis the damage this jackbooted thug is responsible for.  Interestingly, his fellow officers believe him to be an idiot.  Yet, the Sheriff continued to defend this piece of human excrement until he realized  this entire fiasco would not be swept under the carpet.

Rodriguez is indeed an idiot.  Would you believe this piece of crap ordered the motor home to be moved on to an unmarked unused Llano County road? That motor home has indeed been moved back to where it was parked before Rodriguez forced it to be moved.  Why hasn't the County paid for the cost of moving it back?  To say nothing of the damage.

Equally pointedly, why is it the County has allowed Theresa Ahrens to park and live in her tiny cottage on that very same road?  Why hasn't she been evicted by the County?  Why was she assessed taxes on an adjacent improvement she doesn't own?

Why is it, Counselor, Johnny Greene is paying for the attorney retained by Ms. Ahrens?  Is Greene attempting to make this all go away by bribery?  Greene has also informed Berardi he is going to sue.  For what?  Has Greene lost his mind?

What about Wells who installed a $4500 septic system on a lot turns out he does not own as a result of Greene, an outrageously inept County, to say nothing of the Llano County Attorney who remains equally determinedly clueless?

How about Bolen who hasn't a pot to piss in, but was nonetheless f--ked over by Greene to say nothing of an egregiously inept County, to say nothing of you and your goddamned equally incompetent office?

None of this is going away, Counselor, -- any time soon.  Will not be swept under the carpet as all the other crap going on in this hell hole County.  Not a chance.  Expect a full expose in this publication whether or not this outrageous fiasco finally gets resolved.  Including full public exposure of both the Sheriff and his jackbooted thug.

Wake up, Sheriff.  Again, where is dashcam video of the killing of Jeffrey Gray Wise, 52, of Austin by DPS and the Llano County Sheriff's Office?  Three hundred fifty eight weeks, now.  A goddamned disgrace.  Why are you still sitting on this information?  What are you hiding, Sheriff?  What is the identity of the officers who killed Wise?  Too gutless to release this information to the public that pays your salary and that of your goons?  Reportedly, there were three officers involved in the shooting.

Who are they, Sheriff? Their past history?  An ongoing investigation remains a lame bullshit excuse.  How can you and your goons be trusted when you refuse to disclose information? Three hundred fifty eight weeks.  Especially, your egregious failure to disclose the identity of the officers who pulled the trigger.  To cover your sorry ass, Sheriff?  Those of your thugs?  The people have a right to know what happened, how it went down.  You don't understand that, Sheriff?  Sadly, clearly, you answer to no one.  Including taxpayers.  Especially, taxpayers.

Until you and your goons come clean, doubt will remain this was indeed a good shoot.  The longer you drag your feet, the greater the doubt.  Think not?  Wake up.  Your credibility has tanked.  Isn't getting any better as this bullshit continues unabated.  Three hundred fifty eight weeks.  Still no identification of the officers involved  ... Can't get your stories straight?  In line?  Discrepancy between LCSO and DPS? Wake up, Sheriff.  The public no longer buys the bullshit.  No longer trusts you.  On this and many, many other issues.  You have no credibility.  Absolutely, none.

Readers, this is but one of about four other highly questionable killings by law enforcement in Llano County in the last decade or so.  There was one within the City of Llano, another in a field near Fuzzy's Corner, Buchanan Dam, yet another in Point Tella, Buchanan Dam, still another in Tow.  If there are any others I may have neglected to mention, kindly email.

It's time the public be fully informed.  -- Know what we're dealing with here and how 'law' 'enforcement' operates in this hell hole County.  If these jackbooted bastards are not reined in, the life lost could be many  others courtesy of a law enforcement system that is no longer accountable to anyone.  ... Right, Sheriff?  TL?  "Sonny Boy?"  Madam County Attorney?

The Sheriff seems to have no clue the people who pay him and his goons are entitled to know whom is killing whom and why.  This shit always seems to be swept under the carpet.  Ignored.  The attitude of these jackbooted sons of bitches is trust us.  They can't be.  They've lied too many times.  Refuse to be accountable to anyone.  We live in a goddamned fascist police-state where law enforcement does as it pleases. Usually, with impunity.  This has to change.

The Texas Rangers have become rubber stamp to atrocities committed by law enforcement.  This also has to change.  No one is holding law enforcement accountable any longer.  No one.  No one in state or federal government. This is precisely why Ferguson triggered such an uproar.  There was no justice there.  None here.  None anywhere.  Officers are abusive, corrupt, inept.

Falsely ticket and arrest the innocent to line County coffers.  Court fees charged continue to be horrendous.  -- Aren't taxpayers already looted to pay these costs?  Aren't you not only double f--king those falsely accused, but taxpayers also hellaciously looted to pay the very same costs?   Yet, the criminal bastards in power in Llano continue to pile on the fees. This is nothing more than goddamned bullshit.  This money finds its way into the pockets of the corrupt, abusive bastards who falsely believe they run and own this hell hole.

Would you believe the last time the Sheriff's Office happened to be 'audited' during the Garrett regime, reportedly, auditors couldn't figure out what went where and why? Yet, surprise, surprise.  Nothing was done.  There has to be transparency.  There is none.  Why would these thieving bastards want any?  ... Right, Sheriff?  TL?  How else could they so easily steal and loot with virtual impunity?  Worse, this reinforces jackbooted power in this goddamned, godforsaken hell hole County.

The public has a right to know the histories of the Sheriff's goons.  Clearly, the Sheriff doesn't think so.  That is, where they came from.  Why they left where they were.  What is happening here is the Sheriff is using 'personnel matters' as a convenient excuse to deny the public access to the history of outrageously corrupt, abusive, inept officers who are no more than criminals themselves.

He's protecting his outrageously corrupt, abusive, inept jackbooted bastards.  Worse, the standards imposed by sheriff's offices statewide with the exception of metropolitan counties are well below those of DPS and city police departments.  Why?  So the corruption, abuse, ineptness, and outright stealing can continue unabated?  This has to change.  ... Can't have that, can we?  Sheriff?  TL?

The public should understand Llano County authorities have it all sewn up.  Did you know the Texas Attorney General does not have the authority to investigate and prosecute County authorities on his own?  The District Attorney has to call for an investigation by the Texas Rangers.  Then, the State can prosecute if it so chooses.

Consequently?  Guess what?  Nothing will happen.  Nothing ever does.  The goddamned corruption continues unabated until you, the public, pressure authorities.  Precisely, why we all enjoy the 'best' government money can buy. Literally.  Without question, the corrupt, abusive, inept sons of bitches are all bought and paid for.  Firmly clamped to the taxpayer tit.  Dependent on money looted from innocent citizens caught in their web.  Phony fines and court costs cleverly designed to f--k the innocent and enrich the pieces of shit who falsely believe they run and own Llano County. Right, Sheriff?  TL?  "Sonny Boy?"  Madam County Attorney?

Interestingly, the former Sheriff and District Attorney were reportedly forced to retire after an outrageous scandal involving a drunk driving police officer from out of town.  Including special treatment of the drunken son of a bitch that no other citizen caught doing the same would have been afforded. An honest, honorable Llano County Deputy suffered the consequences. Forget? Great officers do not last in this hell hole County. ... Right, Sheriff?  TL?  "Sonny Boy?"  Madam County Attorney?

With all ongoing abuse in this goddamned County, one thing remains for damned sure.  We're just getting started, Sheriff.  You will continue to be exposed for whom and what you and your corrupt, abusive, inept jackbooted bastards have become, truly are, not what you phonies purport to be, that is, how you continue to f--k over a public you've falsely sworn to protect and defend.  -- Exposure, the only way short of an unwanted dreaded revolution to force desperately needed change in a goddamned fascist police-state. The Fourth Reich.

Have your jackbooted thugs been tested for steroids, Sheriff?  If you've nothing to hide, Bill, release the results of all drug testing.  'Personnel matters?'  Bullshit.  Looted taxpayers have the right to know.  They're footing the bill for all this goddamned corruption, abuse, ineptness. When will you and the boys end the shakedowns?  Looting of the innocent to line County coffers?  No honor at all?

Where are your swastika armbands, you fascist son of a bitch?  You and your thugs remain out of uniform.  Once again, Sheriff, and ad nauseum, did you and/or your goons pressure Schilling to exit the race?  Did you steal the election? If so, an aggressively stupid, achingly gutless public gets what it truly deserves.  One of the most corrupt, abusive, inept 'law' 'enforcement' agencies in our formerly great country.


While the business and church communities stood tall during the recent Kingsland flood catastrophe, there was one glaring exception.  On 10-17-18, the Antlers Coffee Shop closed due to storm-related failure of the Kingsland water system. Patrons, however, are routinely allowed to get online outside even when the shop is closed.

A long-term coffee shop customer entered the hotel lobby to ask the desk clerk whether wifi was still up and running after the catastrophe.  She said it was and told the patron he could get online inside the closed shop.  She then asked him to have another regular customer who had just arrived outside to come in and get out of the cold as well.

Antlers co-proprietor Rick apparently quickly got wind of both customers, made quite a jackass of himself emulating the petulant narcissist currently occupying the Oval Office.  Aggressive stupidity at a time the Kingsland business community is indeed suffering, can least afford it.  Further proof positive of the old adage 'can fix ignorant, can't fix stupid.'

Why would, why should both customers put up with this?  Think this hasn't happened to others?

Uncommon Valor.  As always, when an officer does something heroic or of exceptional value to the community, it leads in this publication.  Always.  ABC News(AP) reports:

"A Memphis police officer who was shot while responding to a confrontation at a library was remembered at his funeral Tuesday as a strong, proud and dedicated U.S. Marine and public servant. Officer Geoffrey Redd, 49, died on Feb. 18, two weeks after the shooting at the Poplar-White Station Library. Redd served in the Marine Corps before joining the Memphis Police Department in 2008. Redd worked in crisis intervention and trained fellow officers, colleagues said. He also was director of security at his church, the Greater Community Temple of the Church of God in Christ. Redd, a husband and father, was honored Monday evening with a “Sea of Blue,” in which law enforcement officers rode around Memphis with their vehicle lights turned on. At his funeral Tuesday at Hope Church, pastors read from the Bible and strong-voiced singers performed religious anthems, backed by a choir."

Loved by those around him:

"James Patrick Riley, who served with Redd in the Marines, said that although Redd was not the biggest person, he was his unit's strongest Marine. Riley also recalled that Redd smiled a lot. “I couldn't be grumpy around him,” Riley said. Lt. Tara Sloan of the West Point Police Department in Mississippi said she was a good friend of Redd's and she would remember him for his “dignity, dedication, spirituality and character.” Friends and relatives called him a man of God who was set to complete a course in religious teaching this year."

Here's, sadly, what happened:

"In the library shooting, officers responded to a trespassing call after a man started a confrontation with another person in the building. When officers attempted to talk with him, he pulled out a weapon and fired, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has said.  Redd was hit. His partner returned fire, killing the suspect. Employees and patrons were in the library at the time, but no one else was hurt, according to the TBI. During the funeral, Memphis Police Director Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said Redd and his partner showed heroism in the confrontation. “I have no doubt that the ultimate sacrifice of this one precious life saved the lives of others who on that dreadful day were also in harm's way,” Davis said."

Uncommon Valor.  Despite all the problems in the department as reported here and elsewhere, this officer stood tall.  Hat's off.


Highly reminiscent of our outrageously bought and paid for judiciary, Llano County prosecutors, Sheriff Bill Blackburn and his criminal SS jackbooted bastards in black who continue to egregiously disgrace themselves and the badge, do as they please regardless of the law and Constitution, carefully consider the following.  It's appalling.  Runs against the grain of everything our formerly great country once stood for.  No longer.

The savagery never ends.  ABC News(AP) reports:

"Prosecutors have dropped charges of assault, obstruction and other counts against a Georgia jail detainee after video from security cameras showed him being beaten by sheriff's deputies who rushed into his cell. The decision to dismiss charges against 41-year-old Jarrett Hobbs came several months after an investigation following the video's release in November led to the arrest of three Camden County deputies on battery charges in the jail beating."

What took so long?

“When the video came out, it was abundantly clear that Mr. Hobbs was not the aggressor," Harry Daniels, a civil rights attorney representing Hobbs, said Thursday. Hobbs of Greensboro, North Carolina, was booked into jail in coastal Camden County for traffic violations and drug possession charges Sept. 3. Later that day, a security camera recorded deputies charging into Hobbs' cell and pushing him against a wall before repeatedly punching him in the head and neck. Another camera recorded Hobbs being hurled against a wall and pinned to the floor. Hobbs was charged afterward with aggravated battery, simple assault and obstruction of law enforcement officers. A court filing by prosecutors Tuesday dismissed those charges, citing “insufficient evidence" against Hobbs. Also dropped were the traffic and drug counts that initially landed Hobbs in jail. Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Keith Higgins had no further comment on the case, said Cheryl Diprizio, his executive assistant."

The public deserves far, far more of an explanation from you personally, Counselor.

"Hobbs' beating at the Georgia jail came to light after federal authorities in North Carolina looked into his September arrest. They wanted to determine whether Hobbs had violated his probation stemming from his 2014 guilty plea to a charge of conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, according to court records. The jail videos were first obtained by Hobbs' attorney in the federal probation case, Daniels said. Daniels shared the security videos with reporters in November. Sheriff Jim Proctor ordered an internal investigation more than two months after the beating occurred and Hobbs was the only one charged. Higgins, the district attorney, asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to get involved. The following week, three Camden County deputies were arrested on charges of battery and violating their oath of office. They were also fired. Two others faced disciplinary action but weren't charged with crimes."

Think race was not a factor?  Get this:

"Hobbs is Black. The three deputies charged are all white, according to Capt. Larry Bruce, the sheriff’s spokesman. Hobbs was returned to federal prison after authorities determined he violated terms of his probation by leaving North Carolina. Daniels said having his charges dismissed in Georgia should improve Hobbs' standing in the federal case. “He's now eligible for release to a halfway house because he no longer has pending charges, which is major,” Daniels said."

Cowardly fail to financially and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk?  Get what you truly deserve.  Forfeiture of liberty.  At the hands of outrageously corrupt and abusive government.


Highly reminiscent of our outrageously bought and paid for judiciary, Llano County prosecutors, Sheriff Bill Blackburn and his criminal SS jackbooted bastards in black who continue to egregiously disgrace themselves and the badge, do as they please regardless of the law and Constitution, carefully consider the following.  It's appalling.  Runs against the grain of everything our formerly great country once stood for.  No longer.

Think there isn't a serious problem in law enforcement?  NPR reports:

"The U.S. government doesn't know how many people die in law enforcement custody or while imprisoned each year, according to a new report by The Leadership Conference Education Fund and the Project on Government Oversight."

How is that possible?

"Citing data from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the report says the federal government likely undercounted deaths in custody in 2021 alone by nearly 1,000 compared with other public data sources. This information black hole is despite a federal law from 2014, the Death in Custody Reporting Act, that exists to compel law enforcement agencies' transparency on this issue. And under DCRA, the Justice Department is supposed to collect state and local data on these deaths."

Why aren't the jackbooted bastards in law enforcement criminally prosecuted for this lack of transparency?  Instead of being protected and coddled?

"This remains a problem even as federal agencies say they are cracking down on the lack of transparency in policing. Just last year, President Biden signed an executive order to advance accountability in policing and criminal justice practices."

Without criminal prosecution and long prison terms for government officials and those in law enforcement egregiously stonewalling to cover their sorry asses, there can't, won't be any change.

"People are dying during incarceration, detention, and in police custody every day, yet we have no idea who they are, how they die, or how best to prevent future deaths," Bree Spencer, interim senior program director for justice reform at The Leadership Conference Education Fund, said in a statement. "Congress passed the Death in Custody Reporting Act to solve this problem and reduce preventable deaths, but agencies are failing to implement it." The Education Fund is the education and research arm of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a coalition of civil rights groups. The Project on Government Oversight is a nonpartisan, independent government watchdog. The findings from the report, A Matter of Life and Death: The Importance of the Death in Custody Reporting Act, come as available data indicates a worsening problem for deaths in custody. The publication of this analysis also follows the high-profile police killing of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, last month. The DCRA requires every law enforcement agency at the state, territory and federal level to collect data on the deaths of people transported, detained or arrested by law enforcement and those who died while incarcerated. This information is supposed to be submitted to the U.S. attorney general with details on the time and location of the death, the decedent's personal information, the circumstances surrounding the death, and the agency involved. States that don't comply face a punishment of up to a 10% reduction to their awards under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program — the primary source of federal funding to state and local jurisdictions. The Justice Department is required to report to Congress on how the DCRA data can be used to establish policies and practices that prevent in-custody deaths. But as of yet, no report has been created, contrary to the federal law."

Without criminal prosecution of this law and long prison sentences for these bastards in government, there can't, won't be desperately needed change.

NYPD captain disgraces himself, -- repeatedly abusing female employees.  NBC News reports:

"A New York Police Department captain who has already been sued twice for allegedly abusing female officers was hit with two fresh lawsuits after he was the subject of an NBC News investigation into sexual harassment and gender discrimination in big-city law enforcement."

Never ends.  Think these bastards will ever smarten up?  Could ever be trusted?

Get this.  It's pitiful:

"Capt. Salvatore Marchese now stands accused of sexual harassment or gender discrimination in four cases since 2013. The 2013 case, which involved an officer who alleged he forced her to perform oral sex, was settled for $100,000, documents show. In August 2022, he was sued for allegedly harassing a pregnant officer and forcing her to work overnight shifts. The two new lawsuits filed Wednesday against Marchese and the city allege that Marchese berated female underlings — including a lieutenant — for being pregnant or having to take care of their children. There was no admission of wrongdoing in the case that was settled and Marchese has denied wrongdoing in response to all of the suits."

Delusionally believe all these women are lying?

"The NYPD promoted Marchese to captain in 2018 and assigned him to run stationhouses in Manhattan and the Bronx, NYPD personnel records show. “It’s really outlandish how they keep letting this man go from command to command, treating people this way,” said former Lt. Ebony Huntley, a plaintiff in one of the two new suits. The single mom, who as a Black female lieutenant was a rarity in the NYPD, said she retired early to escape Marchese’s abuse. “Shame on this department for allowing that to happen,” Huntley said."

Goddamned outrageous.  At a time we need far more women in law enforcement.  Make better officers.

The following is not only outrageous, but egregiously appalling:

"A December NBC News investigation found that the NYPD along with some of the nation’s largest law enforcement agencies are rife with sexual harassment and gender discrimination against female officers. Reviews of more than 60 lawsuits that were settled or won at trial since 2017, thousands of pages of internal police documents and interviews with female officers, across ranks, found that women who speak out often lose their careers, while many men face little consequences."

Pitiful.  Clearly, the entire law enforcement system remains a massive failure.  Needs to be rebuilt top to bottom, bottom to top.  Total revamp. Re-engineered.  Re-structured.  Retrained.  Higher education standards requiring a bachelor's degree at hiring, a master's degree within a few years after employment.  Repeated psychological assessment throughout employment.  All the above?  Just a start.  Far more required.

The following is indeed an egregious step backward:

"Of the 87 NYPD officers accused in court papers of abusing female officers, 27 have since moved up in rank, according to an NBC News review, including Marchese. Marchese did not respond to requests for comment. The New York City Law Department, which represents the city legally, and Marchese's union representative at the Captains Endowment Association also did not respond."

Gutless.  Achingly, so.  Not possible to credibly defend the indefensible.  Worse?  No transparency destroys all trust.

"In a statement, the NYPD declined to comment on pending litigation, but said, “The Department does not tolerate discrimination in any form and is committed to respectful work environments for our diverse workforce. The NYPD thoroughly investigates all complaints it receives, and offers several reporting options for NYPD employees, including anonymously.”

No credibility.  Zero.  Zilch.  None.  Nada.  Massive failure.  Empty, hollow, meaningless rhetoric.

“The NYPD has been on notice of Marchese’s bigoted treatment of women for more than a decade, yet has failed to take corrective action,” said attorney John Scola, who is representing Huntley and the two other women with pending suits against Marchese over his alleged behavior. Before crossing paths with Marchese, Huntley had worked for the department for 20 years as a narcotics officer, a detective and a street sergeant. “I am not a softy,” Huntley said. Huntley said things changed when Marchese became her boss in September 2022. Officer Anajess Alvarez had filed a lawsuit in August alleging that Marchese, then running a different stationhouse in the Bronx, presided over a toxic work environment and refused to move her off the overnight shift when she was pregnant. That case is currently in discovery. “You get sued for sexual stuff and you get a whole precinct?” said Anajess Alvarez, age 27. Officer Anajess Alvarez filed a lawsuit in August alleging that Marchese presided over a toxic work environment and refused to move her off the overnight shift when she was pregnant. The department transferred Marchese to the stationhouse where Huntley worked in Upper Manhattan. “I was like, ‘Hey, he can’t be that bad,’” Huntley said. Tensions flared, she said, when she refused Marchese’s demand that she punish a female officer who had complained about Marchese’s alleged abuse while she was pregnant and after her child was born. Huntley said she refused Marchese’s demand that she deny the officer time off and take away her assignments."

Clearly, a hopelessly toxic work environment.

"That officer, Elizabeth Munoz, filed her own gender discrimination lawsuit this week against Marchese and the city of New York, the fourth suit against the captain. Like Huntley and Alvarez, she is represented by Scola. Huntley said once she defended Munoz, the retaliation began. She said Marchese would berate her, openly insulting her in front of other police. “This is more than just a hostile environment. This is sick. It has affected every person’s life in this command in a negative way,” a male officer who works in the stationhouse said. The officer, whom NBC News is not naming since he is not authorized to speak publicly, added that the NYPD’s current police commissioner, the first woman to run the department, “should have zero tolerance for discrimination against any female on this job.”

No shit.  Otherwise, she's no more than part of the problem.

"Things got so bad, Huntley alleges in her complaint, that five of her sergeants complained about Marchese’s behavior to internal affairs. Huntley said she lasted less than four months under Marchese’s watch. She said she had no choice but to retire early in January after he pulled her off the midnight shift. She said he ignored her pleas that she has to care for a young son and a father with cancer. “I’m a woman, I’m Black, I’m a single parent. It’s been hard all the way through,” Huntley said. “I did not deserve to be treated the way this man treated me.”

Hefty financial settlement in yet another horrendous killing by the out of control jackbooted bastards in blue.  CBS News(AP) reports:

"A South Florida city has reached a $2 million settlement with the family of a Black motorist who was fatally shot by a police officer after his vehicle broke down on an interstate off-ramp more than seven years ago."

Why did it take over seven years?

"The city of Palm Beach Gardens released a statement saying it had reached a settlement Thursday through mediation with the family of Corey Jones. The settlement is for the full amount covered by the city's insurance policy, which the insurance carrier has offered to pay since 2016, according to the city's statement."

Why did it take over seven years?  No explanation?

Kill a cop in self defense, guess what?  Get executed in a state that has capital punishment.  Think the following justice?

"Fired Palm Beach Gardens Officer Nouman Raja was convicted of manslaughter and attempted murder in 2019 and sentenced to 25 years in prison for the October 2015 killing of Jones. Raja was the first Florida law enforcement agent in nearly 30 years to be convicted and sentenced for an on-duty killing."

No equal justice.  The following is outrageous, appalling:

"Prosecutors contended Raja escalated what should have been a routine interaction into a deadly confrontation with Jones, a 31-year-old housing inspector and part-time drummer. Raja, of Asian descent, was in plain clothes for a Palm Beach Gardens auto burglary investigation team when he spotted Jones' SUV at 3:15 a.m. on Oct. 18, 2015. Jones was headed home from a nightclub performance by his reggae band when his vehicle stalled on a dark Interstate 95 off-ramp. He had a concealed carry weapons permit and carried a handgun, purchased days earlier to protect his $10,000 drum set, which was in the SUV."

Think the following professional behavior by a jackbooted bastard in blue?

"Raja, wearing jeans, a T-shirt and a baseball cap, drove an unmarked van the wrong way up an off-ramp within feet of the SUV. Prosecutors said Raja never identified himself as an officer and acted so aggressively that Jones must have thought he was about to be carjacked or killed. Raja's supervisor testified the officer had been told to don a police vest if he approached a civilian. He didn't, nor did he pull his badge. Raja had told investigators he fired after Jones pulled a gun on him, but an audiotape of their encounter led prosecutors and jurors to believe Raja instigated their altercation."

No justice.  Special treatment.  Officer protected and coddled.  In follow-up to a case covered earlier here and elsewhere, ABC News(AP) reports:

"Prosecutors have dismissed the most serious charge against a Colorado police officer who locked a handcuffed woman in a parked police car that was hit by a freight train, leaving her with serious injuries. The Weld County District Attorney’s office dismissed the second-degree felony assault charge against Officer Jordan Steinke on Thursday, according to court documents. Steinke and another officer still face less serious charges in connection with the Sept. 16, 2022 incident."

Nazi justice in a de facto fascist police-state where prosecutors remain in bed with law enforcement.  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"The collision occurred after multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a report of a road rage incident in Fort Lupton, Colorado. A Platteville police officer stopped Yareni Rios' car just past a set of railroad tracks and parked the patrol vehicle on the crossing. Another officer handcuffed Rios and placed her in the back of the police vehicle, which was hit by the train as officers were searching her car."

How aggressively stupid can these officers possibly be?  To lock a woman in a patrol vehicle on a railroad crossing is raw insanity.  Gross incompetence.  To downgrade the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor is nothing more than protecting the sorry ass of this egregiously incompetent boob.

"The 21-year-old Rios survived with serious injuries, and later filed a lawsuit accusing three officers of asking [acting?] recklessly and failing in their duty to take care of her while she was in their custody. In the lawsuit, Rios alleges the train tracks were “plainly visible” to Steinke as she put Rios in the back seat of the patrol car belonging to Platteville Sgt. Pablo Vazquez. Court records do not reveal why prosecutors dropped the assault charge against Steinke. Krista Henery, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office, said she could not comment because of pending litigation."

The answer to that question is abundantly and remarkably clear.  The bastard prosecutor is protecting and coddling the officer.  Both need to lose their jobs.  Both remain a threat to the public they supposedly serve.  No transparency results in zero trust.

"Steinke still faces other less serious charges in connection with the incident, including felony attempted reckless manslaughter and misdemeanor reckless endangerment. Steinke was placed on administrative leave after the collision and remains on leave, according to the police department."

Why wasn't the incompetent bastard fired?

"Steinke’s attorney, Mallory Revel, said in a statement Friday that dismissing the assault charge was the “right thing” for the district attorney’s office to do, and contended the remaining charges should also be dismissed."

What a crock of shit.  Think this shyster would have had said the same had the victim been his wife, mother, or daughter?

"Vazquez is charged with five misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and is scheduled for a pretrial conference in March. Vazquez was fired from the police department in December, Platteville police Chief Carl Dwyer said Friday. A phone number for Vazquez could not be found."

In follow-up to a case covered recently in this publication and elsewhere, ABC News reports:

"After failing to file papers supporting the less-than-honorable discharge of the former schools police chief blamed for inaction during a Texas school massacre last year, the Uvalde school district has moved to restore the official blemish they had placed on the record of Pete Arredondo. The district filed for a rehearing following reports this week showing that Arredondo had won an appeal by default when the district did not respond to his official objection last year. Arredondo was fired by the school district in the wake of the botched police response to the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School that claimed the lives of 19 students and two of their teachers. "They filed the right motion to pick back up and try to defend the original discharge designation," said Luis Soberon, a policy researcher for Texas 2036, the group that first found Arredondo had won an appeal to remove the official blemish from his police record that was made after he was fired by the Uvalde district. The Uvalde School District Interim Superintendent Gary Patterson released a statement to the Uvalde Leader News Friday saying that emails from the state about the hearing were missed due to staffing changes in September and October. During those months, the former superintendent retired and the entire school police department was put on suspension, according to Patterson. Emails were missed, so the district did not appear on January 31 to contest Arredondo's appeal, he said."

There is no excuse for this.  None.

"The original discharge status, which the district is now fighting to keep, was general, according to Patterson. The default decision, reached on Jan. 31 when the district didn't reply to Arredondo's appeal, upgraded his discharge status to honorable. According to Soberon, the district had 30 days to file the request for a rehearing. That deadline would have been next week. "It is fairly safe to say that there will be a hearing now with evidence presented by both sides as to why the discharge status should be upgraded on the part of Pete Arredondo or stay the same on the part of Uvalde CISD," said Soberon. Arredondo nor his lawyers responded to multiple requests for comment on his termination report appeal."

Surprised?  No way to credibly defend the indefensible.

The following is outrageous.  Get this:

"Another police official on the scene of the May 24 rampage is challenging his discharge status as well. Retired Lt. Mariano Pargas, the acting Uvalde City police chief that day, filed an appeal to upgrade his discharge status from general to honorable at the beginning of December, over two weeks after he left the Uvalde Police Department on the same week officials said they would move to terminate him. An ABC News investigation based on call recordings and body camera footage found that Pargas knew children were alive in the room with the shooter for at least 30 minutes before police made entry to save them. Pargas said he could not comment on the appeal and has declined multiple requests for an interview with ABC News, citing an ongoing investigation. A spokesperson for the City of Uvalde, Gina Eisenberg, said that the city plans to oppose Pargas' appeal and a hearing is scheduled for July. Eisenberg would not provide details about what that opposition would include."

Egregious step backward in Mississippi.  NBC News reports:

"The Mississippi Capitol Police has shot four people since August with little public explanation — a toll that has alarmed some residents, community leaders and local politicians as the state seeks to expand the once-obscure agency’s power."

Raw racist nazism. Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"The victims include a 25-year-old father of two who was fatally shot in the head during what police described as a response to a traffic violation and a 49-year-old woman who is recovering after she was struck in the arm by an officer’s bullet that crashed through her apartment’s walls as she lay in bed. It’s unclear what prompted these shootings and whether they were justified. The Mississippi Capitol Police does not equip officers with body cameras and has provided few details to the public or to the families of those who were injured or killed. The agency has an unusual level of authority for a state capitol police force, after Mississippi empowered its officers to aggressively patrol the streets of Jackson to stem a record rise in murders. The police force operates outside of the city’s control, leaving much of its work opaque."

The racist, nazi, jackbooted bastard in blue way.  Surprised?

“Something is not right. I know that,” said Arkela Lewis, 44, whose son, Jaylen Lewis, was killed by Mississippi Capitol Police officers in September. “No one has told me anything.” Now, state officials want to give the Capitol Police even more area to patrol, billing the move as a way to further help Jackson tackle its violent crime problem."

Most convenient, isn't it?  Out of control, murderous, abusive law enforcement is now the criminal problem.

Gets worse, far worse.  Get this:

"Two competing proposals under consideration by the Republican-led, majority-white state Legislature would expand the Capitol Police’s jurisdiction in the majority-Black city. One of the proposals, which passed the House this month, would have diverted the criminal cases of people arrested by the Capitol Police to a new state-run court outside the city’s control, a move that sparked an uproar from Jackson’s legislators and mayor. A Senate committee removed that provision Thursday, but Jackson’s mayor, Chokwe Antar Lumumba, still objects to giving the Capitol Police more territory, calling it an “obvious attack on Black leadership” in an interview Friday."

Expect better of racist nazis?  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"The looming showdown, unfolding against the backdrop of a state-city feud over control of Jackson’s crumbling water system, has put the residents and elected officials of the Democrat-led city in a bind. Many are fed up with the understaffed city police Department, which has its own history of excessive force. But if the city gets the help that almost everyone agrees is badly needed, it will likely have to cede additional streets to an agency that answers to the state rather than to local officials — and risk a further erosion of public trust. “We do not need rogue, renegade cops patrolling the streets of Jackson,” Danyelle Holmes, an organizer with the Poor People’s Campaign, said at a Feb. 14 forum at Mt. Helm, the oldest Black church in Jackson, where dozens of residents gathered in resistance to the legislation."

For damned good reason.  Police remain out of control.  Yet some don't comprehend the profound danger posed by out of control law enforcement:

"State Sen. John Horhn, a Black Democrat who represents parts of the city, wants to see more independent oversight of the Capitol Police’s shootings — which are currently investigated by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, a sister agency — but he supports having the force in town. “We are not going to prosper in Jackson if there’s not the rule of law in place,” he said. “We’re losing businesses. We’re losing family. Anybody who can get out of Jackson right now is largely getting out. I believe that we’ve got to do something differently than what we’ve been doing. Capitol Police isn’t the only solution, but it's a part of the solution.”

Time to remove your head from your ass, sir.  Wake up.  How is there rule of law when law enforcement is out of control, abusive, and murderous?

No transparency:

"The Capitol Police’s chief, Bo Luckey, did not agree to an interview, deferring to his boss, Sean Tindell, commissioner of the state Department of Public Safety, who also oversees the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. Tindell declined to discuss specifics of the recent shootings, citing pending investigations, but said no officers have been fired or disciplined. He said that the shootings were the result of two factors: a more proactive approach by Capitol Police officers on Jackson’s streets, and “criminal elements” that have grown more aggressive in recent years. He said the agency’s goal is to keep people in Jackson safe, and he’s had residents approach him after community meetings and thank him for increasing patrols. Tindell added that the number of shootings concerned him. “Anytime there is an exchange of gunfire, in particular when you have the loss of a life, it’s tragic. The entire situation is tragic. And we take all of these incidents very seriously,” he said."

Think so?  Believe it?  The son of a bitch doesn't seem to understand when there is no transparency there is no credibility.  No trust.

"Latasha Smith just wants the officers gone. “I pray the Capitol Police do not get extended jurisdiction,” Smith, 49, said. “If they do, I’m moving far, far away.” Latasha Smith is thankful the bullet that tore through her apartment didn't wound her daughter. Smith says Capitol Police officers shot her while she was in bed after midnight on Dec. 11. The bullet that hit her barely missed her 13-year-old daughter before lodging in her arm, she said. She recalled running from her building, screaming and bleeding, and encountering several Capitol Police officers, including at least one holding a rifle. She said neighbors have since told her they saw officers open fire, leaving bullet holes in at least one other apartment. Investigators from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation questioned her in the hospital and at her apartment. But Smith said she hasn’t received a detailed explanation of what happened, let alone an apology. State authorities have only said that the shooting occurred during a chase that began with officers’ attempts to pull over a suspected stolen car. A news release from the Bureau of Investigation said “shots were fired” and that the officer involved was not injured. But the release and a redacted summary report obtained through a public records request do not describe Smith’s injuries. Smith has hired a lawyer and intends to sue the Capitol Police and the Department of Public Safety. In a notice of claim letter sent to the agencies in January, Smith’s lawyer, Dennis Sweet, said that the shooting was “clearly reckless, unnecessary and unlawful” and that officers “failed to act with the degree of training, knowledge and experience of other reasonably trained and/or qualified law enforcement officers.” In response to a question about Smith’s case, Tindell said, “I think that’s very unfortunate and something that is being looked into.” He declined to comment on the notice of claim."

These jackbooted bastards remain clearly out of control.  Unaccountable.  An exigent threat to a democratic republic.

"Smith said she still has a bullet in her arm and only recently returned to work at a grocery store. “What was the purpose of you discharging that firearm? That’s what I want to know,” she said. “I’m human just like you are. You had no right to shoot me. What was the protocol to discharge your firearm in an apartment complex where all these people live?”

They do as they please.  Remain unaccountable.  An exigent threat to a democratic republic.

"As the Capitol Police force’s mission and power has grown, it’s been slow to adopt transparency and accountability measures that are standard for American law enforcement departments. The Capitol Police does not post online any policies or procedures that guide officer conduct on use of force, car chases or foot chases. NBC News filed a public records request for the agency’s policies and was told that the document could not be released until it was reviewed and redacted by lawyers. That process had not been completed as of Friday. Kenneth Stokes, a Jackson city councilman whose district includes part of the Capitol Police’s patrol area, said that he supports the Capitol Police’s efforts to stop crime, but the agency must act responsibly. “They need to have some body cameras and make sure that if there’s anything done wrong there need to be some checks and balances,” Stokes said."

Clearly, there are no checks and balances.  None.

"On the night of Sept. 25, Alexus Lewis got a call from a friend telling her that her older brother’s truck had been shot at. She and her sister rushed to the north Jackson intersection and learned that Jaylen Lewis had been taken away in an ambulance. They asked officers what happened but received no answers — instead, Alexus said an officer from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation briefly handcuffed her after she began filming and refused to move. The sisters then raced to the hospital, where their brother was on a ventilator. He died the next day, leaving behind a 4-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. Nearly five months later, Lewis’ family knows only the few facts that state authorities have released: The shooting involved the Capitol Police and followed “a police response to a traffic violation,” according to a Bureau of Investigation report. A death certificate confirmed that Lewis had been shot in the head by a police officer. The Bureau of Investigation report also mentioned a 21-year-old woman, whose name was redacted; Lewis’ family believe she was a friend of his and was sitting in the passenger seat. She could not immediately be reached for comment. Two weeks after the shooting, Lewis’ family got his car back. There were three bullet holes in the windshield and two on the driver’s side, said Arkela Lewis, his mother. Arkela said she called the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation to ask for a police report, but did not receive anything. Arkela said the Hinds County coroner declined to give her a copy of the autopsy, citing the pending investigation. (The coroner did not respond to requests for comment.) The family has grown discouraged. “It’s just like they don’t even care,” said Arkela, who lives in Atlanta. At the encouragement of an activist, she submitted a complaint to the Mississippi Attorney General’s Public Integrity Division on Feb. 3 saying she had not received an explanation for her son’s death. She is waiting for a response. A spokesperson said the office had not yet received the investigative file from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation."

Nazi justice in a de facto fascist police-state.  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.  NPR reports:

"A Colorado sheriff's department is taking heat for giving one of its deputies an award for injuries he sustained during a violent incident last year. The awards ceremony this month for Pueblo County Sheriff's Deputy Charles McWhorter came just days before the family of the man he shot and killed in the very same incident filed a wrongful death lawsuit in federal court."

How about that?  Called nazi justice.

"The Purple Heart award for McWhorter was first reported by The Pueblo Chieftain. Darold Killmer, an attorney for the family of Richard Ward, said in an emailed statement to NPR that Ward's family didn't know about the award before filing the suit, but that it was a "truly a brazen act which mocks the very purpose of a Purple Heart."

Expect better of the jackbooted bastards in blue?

"Pueblo's cynical efforts to somehow make McWhorter a hero under these circumstances is disgusting," Killmer said. The Pueblo County Sheriff's Department did not immediately respond to NPR's request for a comment."

Here's what happened:

"On Feb. 22, 2022, authorities said Pueblo County Sheriff's Deputies were called to a local middle school to investigate a "report of a man knocking on windows of vehicles." Newly released body camera footage shows McWhorter talking to Ward, who is sitting in the back of his mother's car. Ward's mother and her boyfriend are in the front seats, and the three of them were waiting to pick up Ward's younger brother from Liberty Point International Middle School."

Why did it take a year for the jackbooted bastards in blue to release video?  No transparency.  No credibility.  Protecting and coddling the jackbooted bastard.

"Ward had gone for a brief walk while they waited, his family said. In the video footage, Ward explains to McWhorter that when he returned from the walk he mistakenly got into a different car that looked similar to his mother's. Ward says he apologized to the driver and left. McWhorter asks Ward if he has an ID or any weapons, and Ward says he might have a pocket knife but doesn't produce one. Ward instead finds an anti-anxiety pill and takes it. McWhorter loudly asks Ward what he put in his mouth before he and Deputy Cassandra Gonzales pull Ward from the car and wrestle him to the ground. After a brief scuffle, McWhorter shoots Ward — who was unarmed — three times. McWhorter tells Gonzales: "He headbutted my nose and then tried grabbing at my stuff."

Couldn't be McWhorter is a congenital liar like the Trump nazi, could it?  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"According to the wrongful death lawsuit filed by his family, Ward suffered from anxiety around police and took an anti-anxiety tablet in the back seat of the car. The suit — which names McWhorter and Gonzales, other officers and Pueblo County as defendants — claims McWhorter had "no legitimate law enforcement purpose" to fire his gun and that he violated Ward's constitutional rights. In October, Colorado's 10th Judicial District Attorney J.E. Chostner concluded that the use of force by McWhorter and Gonzales was justified and that no criminal charges would be filed against them."

Protected and coddled the murderous jackbooted bastard in blue.  Insult to injury?  The murderous jackbooted bastard receives an award.  Nazi justice in a de facto fascist police-state.  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

Cowardly fail to financially and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk?  Get what you truly deserve.  Forfeiture of liberty.  At the hands of outrageously corrupt and abusive government.


... Hey, Sheriff?  Reportedly, promote Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 to Sergeant?  If true, yet another classic example of survival of the unfittest in the law enforcement community.  Readers are reminded this is the very same idiot, clueless asshole responsible for thousands of dollars of damage to the Pace Arrow as reported in each edition of this publication.  Far more to Kingsland property owner James Berardi in a property dispute.  -- A dispute engineered by Johnny Greene, apparently financed by a bribe to the former County Attorney, current District Attorney, and Sheriff.  A federal investigation of Llano County government and the aforementioned allegedly corrupt and abusive bastards in this ongoing fiasco is desperately needed.  Tim Chorney.


Time for the Russian citizenry to stand up to the Putin dictator.  The Associated Press reports:

"How do people raised with a sense of right and wrong end up involved in terrible acts of violence against others? That’s the human mystery at the heart of 2,000 intercepted phone calls from Russian soldiers in Ukraine. These calls obtained by The Associated Press offer an intimate new perspective on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s year-old war, seen through the eyes of Russian soldiers themselves. The AP identified calls made in March 2022 by soldiers in a military division that Ukrainian prosecutors say committed war crimes in Bucha, a town outside Kyiv that became an early symbol of Russian atrocities. They show how deeply unprepared young soldiers — and their country — were for the war to come. Many joined the military because they needed money and were informed of their deployment at the last minute. They were told they’d be welcomed as heroes for liberating Ukraine from its Nazi oppressors and their Western backers, and that Kyiv would fall without bloodshed within a week. The intercepts show that as soldiers realized how much they’d been misled, they grew more and more afraid. Violence that once would have been unthinkable became normal. Looting and drinking offered moments of rare reprieve. Some said they were following orders to kill civilians or prisoners of war."

Unbridled savagery:

"They tell their mothers what this war actually looks like: About the teenage Ukrainian boy who got his ears cut off. How the scariest sound is not the whistle of a rocket flying past, but the silence that means it’s coming directly for you. How modern weapons can obliterate the human body so there’s nothing left to bring home. We listen as their mothers struggle to reconcile their pride and their horror, and as their wives and fathers beg them not to drink too much and to please, please call home."

The report goes on and on in extraordinary, painstaking, heartbreaking detail.  Time for the Russian public to courageously stand up to the Russian dictator no matter the personal cost.  End the unspeakable carnage.  All the unnecessary violence, death, and destruction.  All the ruined lives of those who survive this catastrophe.

Cowardly fail to financially and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk?  Get what you truly deserve.  Forfeiture of liberty.  At the hands of outrageously corrupt and abusive government.


Israeli aggressor on the rampage.  The Associated Press reports:

"Scores of Israeli settlers went on a violent rampage in the northern West Bank, setting dozens of cars and homes on fire after two settlers were killed by a Palestinian gunman. Palestinian medics said one man was killed and four others were badly wounded in what appeared to be the worst outburst of settler violence in decades. The deadly shooting Sunday, followed by the late-night rampage, immediately raised doubts about Jordan’s declaration that Israeli and Palestinian officials had pledged to calm a year-long wave of violence. Palestinian media said some 30 homes and cars were torched. Photos and video on social media showed large fires burning throughout the town of Hawara — scene of the deadly shooting earlier in the day — and lighting up the sky. In one video, a crowd of Jewish settlers stood in prayer as they stared at a building in flames. And earlier, a prominent Israeli Cabinet minister and settler leader had called for Israel to strike “without mercy.”

Frighteningly reminiscent of early Nazi Germany and the rise of Adolf Hitler and his jackbooted bastards.

"Late Sunday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said a 37-year-old man was shot and killed by Israeli fire. The Palestinian Red Crescent medical service said two other people were shot and wounded, a third person was stabbed and a fourth was beaten with an iron bar. Some 95 others were being treated for tear gas inhalation. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned what he called “the terrorist acts carried out by settlers under the protection of the occupation forces tonight.” “We hold the Israeli government fully responsible,” he added. The European Union said it was “alarmed by” the violence in Hawara and that “authorities on all sides must intervene now to stop this endless cycle of violence.” The U.K.’s ambassador to Israel, Neil Wigan, said that “Israel should tackle settler violence, with those responsible brought to justice.”

Sadly, highly unlikely to occur currently under Netanyahu and his Extreme Right outrageously fascist regime.  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"As videos of the violence appeared on evening news shows, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed for calm and urged against vigilante violence. “I ask that when blood is boiling and the spirit is hot, don’t take the law into your hands,” Netanyahu said in a video statement."

Empty, hollow, meaningless rhetoric.  Double talk.  Disingenuous bullshit intended to deceive.

"The Israeli military said its chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Herzl Halevi, rushed to scene. It said troops were being reinforced in the area as they worked to restore order and search for the shooter. Ghassan Douglas, a Palestinian official who monitors Israeli settlements in the Nablus region. said that settlers burned at least six houses and dozens of cars in Hawara, and reported attacks on other neighboring Palestinian villages. He estimated around 400 Jewish settlers took part in the attack. “I never seen such an attack,” he said. The rampage occurred shortly after the Jordanian government, which hosted Sunday’s talks at the Red Sea resort of Aqaba, said the sides had agreed to take steps to de-escalate tensions and would meet again next month ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. “They reaffirmed the necessity of committing to de-escalation on the ground and to prevent further violence,” the Jordanian Foreign Ministry announced. After nearly a year of fighting that has killed over 200 Palestinians and more than 40 Israelis in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, the Jordanian announcement marked a small sign of progress. But the situation on the ground immediately cast those commitments into doubt."

No question.  The statistics clearly indicate the Palestinians are being massacred by the Israeli aggressor.

"The Palestinians claim the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip – areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war – for a future state. Some 700,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The international community overwhelmingly considers the settlements as illegal and obstacles to peace. The West Bank is home to a number of hard-line settlements whose residents frequently vandalize Palestinians land and property. But rarely is the violence so widespread. Prominent members of Israel’s far-right government called for tough action against the Palestinians."

Sadly, the current Israeli government is highly reminiscent of early Nazi Germany and the rise of Adolf Hitler and his jackbooted bastards.

"Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a settler leader who lives in the area and has been put in charge of much of Israel’s West Bank policy, called for “striking the cities of terror and its instigators without mercy, with tanks and helicopters.” Using a phrase that calls for a more heavy-handed response, he said Israel should act “in a way that conveys that the master of the house has gone crazy.”

Sadly, been the case since 1967.  Precisely, why there is no peace.

"Late Sunday, however, Smotrich appealed to his fellow settlers to let the army and government do their jobs. “It is forbidden to take the law into your hands and create dangerous anarchy that could spin out of control and cost lives,” he said."

Called double talk.  Blatant bullshit intended to deceive.

"Earlier, in Israeli ministerial committee gave initial approval to a bill that would impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted in deadly attacks. The measure was sent to lawmakers for further debate."

If enacted, will increase the level of violence as the Palestinians fight back against their occupiers.

"There were also differing interpretations of what exactly was agreed to in Aqaba between the Palestinians and Israelis. Jordan’s Foreign Ministry said the representatives agreed to work toward a “just and lasting peace” and had committed to preserving the status quo at Jerusalem’s contested holy site. Tensions at the site revered by Jews as the Temple Mount and Muslims as the Haram al-Sharif have often spilled over into violence, and two years ago sparked an 11-day war between Israel and the Hamas militant group during Ramadan. Officials with Israel’s government, the most right-wing in Israeli history, played down Sunday’s meeting."

Not surprising.  Sadly, highly reminiscent of early Nazi Germany and the rise of Adolf Hitler and his jackbooted bastards.

"A senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity under government guidelines, said only that the sides in Jordan agreed to set up a committee to work at renewing security ties with the Palestinians. The Palestinians cut off ties last month after a deadly Israeli military raid in the West Bank. Netanyahu’s national security adviser, Tzachi Hanegbi, who led the Israeli delegation said there were “no changes” in Israeli policies and that plans to build thousands of new settlement homes approved last week would not be affected. He said “there is no settlement freeze” and “there is no restriction on army activity.”

Precisely, why violence will continue unabated.

"The Jordanian announcement had said Israel pledged not to legalize any more outposts for six months or to approve any new construction in existing settlements for four months. The Palestinians, meanwhile, said they had presented a long list of grievances, including an end to Israeli settlement construction on occupied lands and a halt to Israeli military raids on Palestinian towns. Sunday’s shooting in Hawara came days after an Israeli military raid killed 10 Palestinians in the nearby city of Nablus. The shooting occurred on a major highway that serves both Palestinians and Israeli settlers. The two men who were killed were identified as brothers, ages 21 and 19, from the Jewish settlement of Har Bracha. Hanegbi was joined by the head of Israel’s Shin Bet domestic security agency who attended the talks in neighboring Jordan. The head of the Palestinian intelligence services as well as advisers to President Mahmoud Abbas also joined. Jordan’s King Abdullah II, who has close ties with the Palestinians, led the discussions, while Egypt, another mediator, and the United States also participated."

Yet, no one has been successful in reining in the Israeli aggressor.  Sadly, the United States has failed to even make the attempt all these decades since the 1967 war and the continued Israeli occupation of most of the seized territory.  It is the continued occupation that drives this endless violence.

"In Washington, the U.S. national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, welcomed the meeting. “We recognize that this meeting was a starting point,” he said, adding that implementation will be critical.” It was a rare high-level meeting between the sides, illustrating the severity of the crisis and the concerns of increased violence as Ramadan approaches in late March. In Gaza, Hamas, an Islamic militant group that seeks Israel’s destruction, criticized Sunday’s meeting and called the shooting a “natural reaction” to Israeli incursions in the West Bank. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. The Hamas militant group subsequently took control of the territory, and Israel and Egypt maintain a blockade over the territory."

Sadly, there will be no end to the violence until the United States reins in the Israeli aggressor.  Cuts off all financial and military support.  Highly unlikely to happen any time soon.

The Associated Press reports:

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, the most right-wing in Israel’s history, came under criticism for its failure to halt a surge in violence and for sending what some saw as mixed messages. As Netanyahu appealed for calm, a member of his ruling coalition praised the rampage as deterrence against Palestinian attacks. The Israeli army also came under criticism for its failure to move quickly to stop the rioting, the worst such violence in decades. “The government needs to decide what it is,” veteran columnist Nahum Barnea wrote in the Yediot Ahronot newspaper. “Is it resolved to enforce law and order on Arabs and Jews alike? Or is it a fig leaf for the hilltop youth, who do as they please in the territories? That same question also applies to the army, which has thus far failed to deal effectively with either Palestinian terrorism or Jewish terrorism.” The events also underscored the limitations of the traditional U.S. approach to the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Washington has been trying to prevent escalation while staying away from the politically costly task of pushing for a resolution of the core disputes."

Gutless.  Achingly, gutless.  Precisely, why the violence will not end any time soon.

The Associated Press reports:

"Weeks of anti-government protests in Israel turned violent on Wednesday for the first time as police fired stun grenades and a water cannon at demonstrators who blocked a Tel Aviv highway. The crackdown came shortly after Israel’s hard-line national security minister urged a tough response to what he said were “anarchists.” The violence came as thousands across the country launched a “national disruption day” against the government’s plan to overhaul Israel’s judicial system. The protests moved later Wednesday to Jerusalem, where protesters rallied outside the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, chanting. Demonstrators were set to gather in the evening in front of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in central Jerusalem. Netanyahu’s allies say the proposed judicial overhaul program is meant to reduce the influence of unelected judges. But critics, including influential business leaders and former military figures, say Netanyahu is pushing the country toward authoritarian rule and has a clear conflict of interest in targeting judges as he stands trial on corruption charges."

Sadly, under Netanyahu, Israel has emulated its Second World War Nazi oppressors.

"Since Netanyahu’s government took office two months ago, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest the changes, which they say endangers Israel’s fragile system of checks and balances. Wednesday, however, marked the first time police used force against the crowds. The crisis has sent shock waves through Israel and presented Netanyahu with a serious challenge. A wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence in the occupied West Bank has compounded his troubles. For now, his government is barreling ahead with the legal changes — highlighted by proposals that would give Netanyahu’s allies the power to appoint the country’s judges and other bills that would weaken the Supreme Court’s authorities. Netanyahu and his government, made up of ultranationalists, have branded the protesters anarchists, while stopping short of condemning a West Bank settler mob that torched a Palestinian town earlier this week."

How about that?

"The legal overhaul has sparked an unprecedented uproar, with weeks of mass protests, criticism from legal experts and rare demonstrations by army reservists who have pledged to disobey orders under what they say will be a dictatorship after the overhaul passes. Business leaders, the country’s booming tech sector and leading economists have warned of economic turmoil under the judicial changes. Israel’s international allies have expressed concern. Early Wednesday, police arrived on horseback in the center of the seaside metropolis of Tel Aviv, hurled stun grenades and used a water cannon against thousands of protesters who chanted “democracy” and “police state.” A video posted on social media showed a police officer pinning down a protester with his knee on the man’s neck and another showed a man who reportedly had his ear ripped off by a stun grenade."

Sadly, under the Israeli dictator, Israelis are suffering remarkably similar abuses to what we are suffering here in the United States from out of control law enforcement in a de facto fascist police-state, a democratic republic in name only.  The conflict driven here by the nazi element in the Republican Party.  Democrats failure to effectively challenge this growing threat to democracy.  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"Facing the police, protesters also chanted “where were you,” a reference to the absence of security forces during the settler attack on the Palestinian town of Hawara, which took hours to quell and which the military said it was not prepared for. Police said protesters threw rocks and water bottles at the officers. Police said they arrested 39 protesters in Tel Aviv for disturbing the peace while 11 people were hospitalized with various injuries, according to Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. Earlier Wednesday, protesters blocked Tel Aviv’s main freeway and the highway connecting the city to Jerusalem, halting rush hour traffic for about an hour. At busy train stations in Tel Aviv, protesters prevented trains from departing by blocking their doors. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, an ultranationalist accused of politicizing the police, has vowed to take a tough line. He called on police to prevent the road blockages, labeling the demonstrators “anarchists.”

Emulating Adolf Hitler, Mr. National Security Minister?

"Netanyahu said Ben-Gvir had his full support. “We will not tolerate violence against police, blocking roads and blatant breaches of the country’s laws. The right to protest is not the right to anarchy,” he said. Netanyahu also blamed opposition leader Yair Lapid for fomenting anarchy. Lapid called on police to show restraint and said Netanyahu’s government had lost control. “The protesters are patriots,” Lapid tweeted. “They are fighting for the values of freedom, justice and democracy. The role of the police is to allow them to express their opinions and fight for the country they love.”

We have remarkably similar problems right here in the United States.  The difference is Israelis are doing something about them.  Here, we accept the growing nazism embraced by the nazi element in the Republican Party.  While Democrats fail to effectively challenge this raw nazism.  Ignore the 6-3 nazi Republican takeover of the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Thousands of protesters came out in locations across the country waving Israeli flags. Parents marched with their children, tech workers walked out of work to demonstrate and doctors in scrubs protested outside hospitals. “Every person here is trying to keep Israel a democracy and if the current government will get its way, then we are afraid we will no longer be a democracy or a free country,” said Arianna Shapira, a protester in Tel Aviv. “As a woman, as a mother, I’m very scared for my family and for my friends.” Justice Minister Yariv Levin, the overhaul’s main architect, said Tuesday that the coalition aims to ram through some of the judicial overhaul bills into law in the coming month, before the parliament goes on recess for the Passover holiday on April 2. The Knesset also was also set to cast a preliminary vote Wednesday on a separate proposal to protect Netanyahu from being removed from his post, a move that comes following calls to the country’s attorney general to declare him “unfit for office.” Netanyahu has been the center of a years-long political crisis in Israel, with former allies turning on him and refusing to sit with him in government because of his corruption charges. That political turmoil, with five elections in four years, culminated in Netanyahu returning to power late last year, with ultranationalist and ultra-Orthodox parties as partners in the current far-right government. Wielding immense political power, those allies secured top portfolios in Netanyahu’s government, among them Ben-Gvir, who before entering politics was arrested dozens of times and was once convicted of incitement to violence and support for a terror group. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a firebrand West Bank settler leader, has been given authority over parts of the territory."

Sadly, the following guaranties continued violence:

"They have promised to take a tough stance against Palestinians, which has ratcheted up tensions in recent weeks. Smotrich publicly called for a harsh response to the killing of two Israelis in the West Bank by a Palestinian gunman, saying Israel should “go crazy,” shortly before Sunday’s mob violence. While he later urged restraint, he also said Wednesday that Hawara, the Palestinian town that was attacked, should be “erased.” In addition to the protests, Netanyahu’s government, Israel’s most right-wing ever, is beginning to show early cracks, just two months into its tenure. The government says the legal changes are meant to correct an imbalance that has given the courts too much power and allowed them to meddle in the legislative process. They say the overhaul will streamline governance and say elections last year, which returned Netanyahu to power with a slim majority in parliament, gave them a mandate to make the changes. Critics say the overhaul will upend Israel’s system of checks and balances, granting the prime minister and the government unrestrained power and push the country toward authoritarianism."

Precisely, what's happening here in the United States courtesy of the nazi element in the Republican Party, rubber stamped by the six Republican fascists on the Supreme Court, and the egregious failure of Democrats to effectively challenge this nazi takeover of our government.  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

Cowardly fail to financially and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk?  Get what you truly deserve.  Forfeiture of liberty.  At the hands of outrageously corrupt and abusive government.


The effort to expose Wells Fargo egregious deceptive trade practices continues.  Several years ago to determinedly apply renewed pressure on our truly worthless, egregiously self-serving Texas Attorney General, now Governor, an excoriating email was sent to the bastard. Copies of which were also passed on to both offending Wells Fargo officers. A copy was also sent to the Davis campaign and others at the time.

Voters did have a right to know as Attorney General, the GOP candidate for Governor apparently selectively investigated, or not, bona fide complaints filed by citizens against banks too big to fail.  Possibly, Wells Fargo could have lined his pockets in some fashion.  That has yet to be determined.

The bastard and his office, no matter what, failed to respond to the complaint originally snail mailed several years ago.  This material, figuratively targeting Wells Fargo and the governor 'wannabe' now Governor, had been posted and can be found by scrolling all the way down and clicking on the links well below.  ... Governor? Wells Fargo bribe you to look the other way?

Will continue to do all I can to publicly expose this to all, both in this publication and elsewhere.  Have done precisely that with the following email sent to Matt Turner, Matt Turner Video Services, Marble Falls, TX.  A copy of it was also sent to Wells Fargo officer Amanda Wright.  She has, indeed, been promoted  branch manager. Reverse Darwinism.  Survival of the unfittest.

This young woman has indeed been rewarded by the Wells Fargo corporate management suite for engaging in criminal deceptive trade practices and her undying loyalty to her corporate masters. The process to update those already informed of this fiasco has finally been completed. This latest material can be found by clicking onWells Fargo Deceptive Trade Practices Salvo 240, 2-8-19.



The name of this publication was changed some fifteen years ago from The Llano Ledger to Liberty In Peril.  The reason?  Simple.  Cowardly failure of this community to stand up to tyranny that has only exponentially worsened the last decade and a half.  Clearly, demonstrated as well by the cowardly failure of businesses to financially support this publication.  Either through advertising or other financial support.  Too afraid doing so would enrage the bastards who run and own this hellhole County.

-- Despite the fact these businesses were, and are, being egregiously f--ked by these very same bastards. Tough, isn't it?  Impossible to entertain any sympathy for cowardice, however.  Especially in view of the fact this writer has placed himself in great jeopardy taking on these corrupt, abusive, inept criminal bastards. Alone.

Exactly, why you see no investigative material highly critical of these sons of bitches in other local rags.  Sadly, cowardly, all advertising income immediately dries up.  Consequently, the bastards continue their criminal chicanery with impunity.  On a rampage.  Thus, you get what you truly deserve.  Always.  Precisely, why this earlier name change to Liberty In Peril remains appropriate.  -- Despite the fact this writer has not yet left the area.  Ten years after originally intending to do so.  Thirty years in this goddamned godforsaken hellhole.

This writer, then and now, remains primarily interested in state, federal, and international issues.  Another reason for this publication name change.  Despite the fact I stupidly cluelessly remain here, local issues must be addressed.  Can't be ignored.  That's where you come in dear readers.  Have the courage to inform this writer of local abuse, corruption, ineptness you are aware of, have personally experienced.

... Information these criminal bastards do all they can to conceal, cover up.  Otherwise, how can they effectively sustain the charade and intended result? Loot confiscation through a boot heel on the throat of the citizenry.

The only way, short of an unwanted dreaded second American revolution, to force badly-needed change is to expose all this to the light of day.  These bastards are beginning to understand they have a problem.  No question, the growing rage of those they've abused, looted, egregiously f--ked.  It's time to stand up.  Expose this corruption to glaring sunlight.  Otherwise, as fools, cowards, you will remain under their thumb.  From the loftiest business owner to those on the bottom of the food chain.  Wake up.  Grow a pair.

Still don't think that likely to happen.  After all, you're bought and paid for.  Owned. Not only by your government masters, but their masters.  The corporate management suite.  Your employers.  Think not? Wake up.   You're human chattel.  Corporate-owned, bought and paid for.  Precisely, why you cowardly, compliantly, literally bare your asses for corporate inspection by the company doctor.  Willingly, compliantly, cowardly piss in a cup under employer supervision.  To sit in front of a keyboard or stock shelves all day.  You have no control of your lives.  You're owned.  Forget?  For a measly salary, no job security, reduced to no benefits.  At a time of record corporate profits and cash reserves.

Then, you gallingly complain about the oppression as you tolerate egregious theft of your labor. Not only by your corporate masters, but their bought and paid for government lackeys.  Too cowardly to stand up, allow disclosure of your identity when you rightfully complain to this publication of being mercilessly f--ked. Some of you falsely arrested, criminally assaulted, bogusly fined for 'offenses' you did not commit.  To line County coffers.  Keep the peasants in line and under control.  A fascist police-state. Nazi America.

Again, yet another reason why this publication is called Liberty In Peril.  Most galling? Nothing changes if you fail to step up and challenge corrupt, abusive, inept authority.  Too afraid, cowardly compliant to let the bastards know who you are.  Did it ever occur to the cowards out there if the identity of the accuser is kept under wraps the bastards will falsely claim it's all made up by this publication?  Thus, conveniently killing all credibility. Wake up.

Cowardice is unbecoming, unworthy of our formerly great country.  Insult to injury?  There are the hopelessly deranged who believe the chicanery reported here to be manufactured anyway.  No matter the effort.  No matter the research.  No matter the proof.  Wake up.  This writer cannot do it alone.  Snowball's chance in hell.  Then again, cowardice, delusion is always amply, justly rewarded.  Always. You continue to 'enjoy' the very best government money can buy.  Literally.
