Corruption is A-OK

Go ahead and cheat.  EVERYBODY’S doing it.  That is called ‘affiliation’ in the marketing world, folks.  And it works.  If everyone else is committing a crime, go ahead! Loot that store!  “Allll my friends are doing it”.  I feel nauseated.  Hurry!  Get ‘yours’ while you can (coercion).  Do you recall hearing or seeing these tactics used in advertising?  Sure you do.  How about in politics?  Well unless you live under a ROCK you see it.  Every day!

There was a time when one’s word was his/her (don’t EVEN go there)bond, bond meaning a binding agreement; sometimes that was such a strong promise, you didn’t even need to ‘shake on it’.  One of the things I admired most about my father was his honesty, his integrity.  He always did the right thing, no matter how hard.  I was proud to have him as my dad. He’s gone now, and I often wonder what he would think of the country for which he went to war, the one for which he saw some of his friends die horribly.  I have to be glad he isn’t here to see the mess this country has become.  But his focus on honesty runs strong in MY veins, so it lives on.  In most cases, though, those days are gone.  There’s even a marketing strategy to make being a ‘thug’ a good thing.  Do you know the definition of ‘thug’?  Ever looked it up?  Allow me: a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal.  That’s a good thing?  F&%k!

In my lifetime, in my small world, I’ve seen two clerks of court either convicted of, or accused of, crime.  One went to prison (greed) and the other has just been accused of jury tampering in a HUGE criminal case in South Carolina (greed).  These are members of the JUSTICE SYSTEM, people.  What the actual HELL?  (Yeah, that’s cliche but I think it’s fun to say).  Then there’s the Long Island Serial Killer case where the chief of police and his management structure (and possibly subordinate structure), are possibly involved in either the actual crimes or the covering up of them, maybe even BOTH!  POLICE!  Law enforcement!  And we wonder why police are under fire all over this nation.  It’s because of people like this.  Oh what the hell; I’ll SAY innocent until proven guilty.  But what I think that I DON’T say might just be different.  One bad apple DOES spoil the whole bunch, like it or not.  Even if you are not a criminal, you are tainted and that should piss you off and make you stand up against crime.

Let’s go back to that South Carolina Clerk of Court.  After the trial ended, she was interviewed.  When has a clerk of court ever been interviewed?  I never saw it…until that day.  And I shouldn’t see it!!  Clerks should sit down and be quiet.  If they provide commentary on a case, that sounds a LOT like conflict of interest. And the term ‘beaming’ definitely applied to her smile.  She LOVED that attention, OMG my subconscious mind shouted, “DID YOU SEE THAT??”, and now?  Now she’s writing a book, and also now?  She’s gonna need a lawyer, because she’s been accused of jury tampering.  Oh and if she DID tamper, she’s going to jail, the big house.

I’m pissed.  Why?  Because the evidence overwhelmingly pointed to guilt of this South Carolina murderer and now he’s going to get another chance to go free.  THIS GUY stole insurance payout money from a paraplegic who ended up dying, and from a young teenager whose family died in a terrible car crash.  His theft forced her to live in POVERTY, after the truck that killed her family paid a huge sum, millions, to compensate HER (but he kept the money). Oh did I say he was a lawyer?  Yeah, I hear you.  And those were just two of many, many such thefts among lots of OTHER crimes.  Not to mention, did I say?  He murdered his wife and youngest son.  OMG.  And this clerk, if the allegations are true, could give him a chance to go free.  Yeah, I’m furious.  

Why is this crap raining down from the sky onto the few honest people left, the ones on whose backs this country rests?  I think it is because our government, in front of the entire UNIVERSE advertises crime as a way to grin (creepy grin) all the way to the many banks.  One bank isn’t enough.  We see them cheat, lie, threaten, attack their opponents, maybe even murder, and get AWAY with it.  (How do they DO that?)  We look at them and know we cannot believe a SINGLE WORD THEY SAY.  It used to be that such behavior was always in the middle eastern countries, you know, the ones where there’s a single dictator or a group, all violent, all incredibly rich at the expense of the people they supposedly govern.  Well hello, welcome to America.  And I remember once being proud that we had a just and honest government, you know, the one with checks and balances?  Well, one leg of that ‘balance’ is now corrupt as a sewer.  Well, okay TWO legs.  Definitely at least two.  Okay THREE, definitely three.  F&^K!  And that, my friends, is how they get away with this shit.  NO, NONE, ZERO checks or balances.

These criminal behaviors are signs of top-down corruption, PERMISSION to be liars, a cheaters, even  murderers, to get money and power.  The two greatest things people lust after.  And now, America has been turned loose to behave like low-brow thugs, unintelligent and lazy, with only muscles going for them.  Hell, you don’t even need muscles now.  Look at Cavalcante.    But one day, if we keep being mindless robots, we all become slaves.  WHAT??  WHO SAID THAT EVIL WORD?  

I did.

If you can read, take time to look over historical docs about North Korea, Iraq, Mexico, China.  For example.  Oh God there are many more.  Once the power and money grabbers get you to bend to their will, they will ultimately own you and control you.  First they create an environment of lawlessness, so they can send in the military (within which they have placed corrupt leadership) to take your weapons and your ability to defend yourself.  Then they will take  your money and be sure you keep making product to sell, you know, like in sweat shops.  Goodbye phone, goodbye rights, goodbye independence, and if you are an addict?  Uh oh, you have no place in the new order.  Upstart?  Criminal?  Anti government?  Goodbye.  Can’t have you guys around in a dictatorship.  All of that noise and crime you enjoy right now will make you an immediate target in the ‘new order’.  Buh buy.  Can’t say I will miss you, but I digress.  Then?  Your leader will live in a palace and force you to adore and worship him and jump around like an idiot waving feathers and flags.  If you don’t?  Bye bye.  OH, if and you don’t get to have any opinions, ever.  Oh I know, you think if YOUR guy wins you will be beloved.  No.  Beloved is not the word I’m thinking.

This is why our country of corruption bothers me so much.  It’s because I have a brain and I use it.  It’s because I can SEE the result of corruption of the ones who built and are building our country.  If our backs break all the way through (and they are breaking), that’s a big cornerstone of the effort to create a dictatorship of America.  Who will be the head, the slave owner?  Well we can eliminate a few doddering fools.  Even their money can’t make them immortal.  But their crime will live on.  Remember when I said my father’s integrity is in my blood?  Well that works for criminal behavior too.

And listen. Once the few billionaires take over all of us?  Then they’ll go after one another.  That’s the only saving grace.  But we won’t see it (rats!) because, uh, no more media of any kind for the slaves.  But wouldn’t it be fun to watch these power mongers go after each other?  Makes me chuckle.

Wake up and be offended by this shit.  Try honesty and integrity and for God’s sake, READ something.  And not just the stuff in your circle-jerk.  And don’t say you weren’t warned.  The ones of you who are trying to help the destruction of our nation will be the FIRST ones to wail and gnash your teeth, and also be standing in front of a big old hole in the earth you were just forced to dig.  Guarantee it.

CATCH UP, Justice System

My name is Brenda and I’m a true crime junky.  There, I said it.  I pay attention to what happens in our society and I believe in staying ahead of the times technologically.  So now, every time I turn around, criminals are whining about needing a CHANGE OF VENUE, so they can have an UNINFLUENCED JURY,  so they can have a FAIR TRIAL.  Meanwhile victims wait and wait and wait and wait, for their grief to be plowed up years down the road.  That’s bull.  

If you’re gonna do that, do NOT let pre-trial incarceration count towards the ultimate sentence.  And how about we consider the victims?

Listen up:  Surprise!  We have social media, we have an intelligent and engaged society who pay attention and have interest in victims getting justice.  And we can follow law enforcement press conferences and updates, and we can see the principals talking on the news or on social media.  We can email the police chief and the sheriff.  We get to see them talking, read their body language, decide whether they are bold face liars or not.  Oh my God I’ve seen some doozies.  Good thing we now get a TON of information, both true and untrue.  That’s the nature of the beast now.  That’s a GOOD thing.  Crime sleuths online have done some AMAZING THINGS.  Chris Watts:  The online community shouted collectively, “GUILTY!” when we saw that ridiculous interview.  And of course we were right.  What about little Quinton Simon’s mother and that RIDICULOUS fake crying?  Again, we shouted, “Guilty!!”  Gonna be right on that one too.  Serene and Classic, those adorable boys?  Yeah, that interview was telling too.

We, the potential jurors are observant.  Can we be fair?  Damn right we can.  Stop treating us like we’re stupid.  We are NOT stupid.  Show me the facts, show me the evidence.  So what if I have ‘formed an opinion’.  Opinions are just that: Opinions.  Facts pointing out error can foment a change of opinion, and isn’t that what prosecutors are supposed to do.  Prove guilt?    What are you worried about then?  Do your job.

I have a suggestion: Get better at spotting the leeches.  Weed out the ones hoping to get a book deal.  Get better at figuring out who is actually going to be able to be fair.  Ask for examples, real ones, about when a deeply held opinion was changed.  If a potential juror can’t come up with one, bounce him and move on!   

And for  God’s sake get rid of the unanimous decision rule.  ONE person can sway the course of justice?!?  Have you LOOKED at society lately???  The latest school shooter trial dodging the death penalty was a travesty.  ONE person did that.  

However you decide to do this, it’s time to catch up.  We have a level of connectivity in society we could never have imagined a decade ago.  It’s here and it’s not going away.  So, Justice system catch up or step aside in favor of AI.  Give more time for jury selection and LEARN HOW TO DO IT.  Stop spending taxpayers’ money to change the venue, to sequester the jury, to bog down the process and cause victims more grief.  Get your shit together and learn how to do voir dire.  I’m not the only one who appreciates truth.

One last thing:  If a lawyer says “quite frankly” more than once, can we just chase him out of the courtroom???? Yeah, talking about the Vallow Daybell case.
