what w/ anti-discrimination laws, if she hadn't rented to her, she could have been hauled into court:
An introduction to a nationwide, organized crime racket you will never have heard of from the msm, google, or the antiversity (video)
Re-posted by N.S.
I had to search and search for this video, even though I'd already watched it once, a few weeks ago. I punched in "false exonerations" both at google and duckduckgo, yet all they gave me were entries for "false convictions." Am I insinuating that the two aforementioned search engines are rigging results? No, I'm saying it! google and duckduckgo do not want readers to learn the truth about the false exoneration movement.
The main criminal gangs leading this movement are the "innocence projects" spread around the country, the most infamous of which is the so-called "innocence project" at northwestern university's Medill school of journalism in Evanston, illinois. This gang was founded by professor David Protess (1946-) in 1999. Due to the Protess scandal, northwestern fired Protess, while allowing him to "retire" (2011), and re-branded his gang the "Medill justice project."
Note that the "innocence projects" are only interessted in convicts who are guilty as hell.
Roberta Glass and "Nadia" maintain that these gangs keep going through the profit motive. The criminal court part does not earn them money, but it is inseparable from the civil court part, in which after they get killers' murder convictions overturned, they sue, in order to get the murderers and their lawyers windfalls to the tune of millions of dollars.
I was able to find this through the name Martin Preib, whose book Crooked City I'd bought a couple of years ago (but have yet to read more than a few pages of). I recently caught an interview by Roberta Glass of Preib, and so I found her through him.

TCM’s Film Noir of the Week Saturday Night-Sunday Morning at Midnight and 10 a.m. ET is Robert Aldrich’s The Big Knife (1955) with Jack Palance, Ida Lupino, Wendell Corey, Shelly Winters, Rod Steiger, Jean Hagen, Everett Sloane, Wesley Addy and Paul Langton.
Film Noir Guide: “Palance, a popular Hollywood star, wants to quit the business to save his crumbling marriage to Lupino, but ruthless producer Steiger and his henchman Corey blackmail him into signing a new seven-year contract. With a possible jail sentence hanging over Palance’s head if it becomes known that the studio P.R. man (Langton) took the blame for his drunk driving accident, which killed a young girl the actor gives in to Steiger’s demands.”
“Lupino, who’s considering running off with Palance’s best friend (Addy), isn’t thrilled with the prospect of seven more years in Tinseltown. Complicating matters, a dipso bit player (Winters), who was in the car with Palance on the night of the accident, has been babbling about the cover-up. When Corey decides that she should be shut up for good, the horrified actor feels he must take a stand.”
“Hagen plays Langton’s libidinous wife, who can’t resist Palance, and Sloane is the actor’s sympathetic agent. Steiger gives his usual boisterous but enjoyable performance, and Palance is so compelling that noir icon Lupino is hardly noticeable as his indecisive wife.”
“Based on the play by Clifford Odets, The Big Knife presents a grim look at the darker (albeit fictional) side of Hollywood life. The film wasn’t a big hit with audiences, who couldn’t drum up much sympathy for the pathetic life of an alcoholic, millionaire actor living in a Bel Air mansion. They also had difficulty accepting the hard-featured Palance as a sex symbol adored by millions of women.”
I saw this picture over 50 years ago, and all I can remember of it is the ruthless studio mogul played by Rod Steiger, and yet I heartily recommend it. Why? It was helmed by Robert Aldrich, and has a brilliant cast.
Aldrich’s movies (Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, The Dirty Dozen, The Longest Yard, etc.) were characterized by brutality and intelligence. The story goes that as he lay on his death bed, when one of his friends asked, “Can we get you anything, Bob?,” he responded, “A good script.” He worked frequently with Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine and, late in his career, Burt Reynolds.
Rod Steiger’s studio mogul, as I remember him, mixed with voluminous reading on the topic, is generic. However, people who have read very little on the topic, will simply protect their personal hatreds on him. The other day, I visited an old web page from a movie blog, where one such denizen cursed the memory of MGM founder Louis B. Mayer. Others will curse Columbia co-founder Harry Cohn. Or Warner Brothers chief Jack Warner. Or 20th Century Fox founder Darryl F. Zanuck. Steiger won one Oscar, out of three nominations, for Best Actor, for In the Heat of the Night (1967).
Jack Palance was up for Best Supporting Actor three times, most famously as two-pistoled hired gun Jack Wilson in George Stevens’ Shane (1953). Palance won his Oscar for City Slickers (1991).
Shelley Winters was up for six Oscars and won two (for a layered performance in which she stole the show, in The Diary of Anne Frank, 1959, and for an over-the-top one as a prostitute and racist mother-from-hell, in A Patch of Blue, 1965, with the star-crossed Elizabeth Hartman), shares the top spot on my list of the greatest movie character actresses with Claire Trevor, who was up for three Oscars, and who won one as a gangster’s moll (in Key Largo, 1948).
Wendell Corey was a natural, who never seemed to play too high or too low. Unfortunately, he drank himself to death in his early fifties. The best directors always wanted him around (e.g., Hitchcock in Rear Window, 1954).
Jean Hagen is most famous for playing the silent movie queen with the voice that is unfit for sound in Singin’ in the Rain (1954), which got her her one nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Early in her movie career, she delivered a series of brilliant supporting performances (e.g., Side Street, 1949). Although she got the role as the wife on The Danny Thomas Show, which fetched her three Emmy nominations, she quit after three years, complaining that there was nothing for her to do on the show. For several years thereafter, she was a busy TV guest star. And then her world fell in. Although she was still relatively young, her health completely collapsed, with one physical complaint after another, ending with death from esophageal cancer at the age of 54 (1923-1977).
Everett Sloane is most famous as one of the triumvirate who all should have been up for Best Supporting Actor for Citizen Kane (1941)—King Cotten, George Colouris, and Sloane—none of whom was nominated. In middle age, with his hearing failing him, Sloane committed suicide.
Ida “Crashout” Lupino was a whirlwind of talent. She started out at Warner Brothers, but got tired of waiting in line behind Queen Bette Davis, Olivia DeHavilland, and Ann Sheridan for good roles. Warners eventually released her to sign at RKO, which paid less, but let her do just about everything—write, direct, and produce, in addition to acting—in its cheapo productions. Lupino was never nominated for anything, not even for High Sierra (1941). When RKO went out of business, thanks to Howard Hughes’ mix of viciousness and incompetence, she busied herself with tv work, including a great deal of directing of episodic TV. As a director, she got episodes done on time and under budget.

"People are really tying Bidenomics and their perception of the economy to the inflation rate," said Matt Monday of Morning Consult, in a new Bloomberg story titled, "Biden's gains against Trump vanish against deep economic pessimism, poll shows." It's the latest entrant in an intensifying campaign to describe voters, especially in key electoral swing states, as morons and partisan haters who'll deny reality itself out of political spite.
This campaign has been weirdly perverse in its mockery. Seattle Times cartoonist David Horsey recently tossed off a visual of the reality-denying swing voter, rendering him as a pudgy, confused hominid in the mode of Monty Python's duncelike Gumbys. Having negative feelings about "the best performing [economy] in the world" is equivalent to denying who won the Super Bowl:

When the Wall Street Journal a few weeks ago ran "What's Wrong With the Economy? It's You, Not the Data," I thought the "It's not me, it's you" framing had to be ironic, a spoof of these increasingly numerous "perception of the economy" pieces. Nope:
 |
Noting that 74% of respondents in a recent poll said they felt inflation in the "past year" was going in the wrong direction, author Greg Ip noted flatly "it's not true," adding:
I'm not stating an opinion. This isn't something on which reasonable people can disagree. If hard economic data count for anything, we can say unambiguously that inflation has moved in the right direction in the past year.
Ip might be technically right about the last year of inflation, but I'm not sure how many finance writers want to be in the business of deciding who belongs in the "reasonable people" club, given the last twenty years of unpunished thievery on Wall Street. One could argue a reasonable person would have marched on Manhattan and started defenestrating bankers ten years ago:...

The wall street journal and John Lott Jr.: Only 28 years behind Stix!: Crime rates aren't falling in real world usa
Thursday, April 25, 2024 at 06:05:33 p.m. edt
Opinion | The Media Say Crime Is Going Down. Don't Believe It
I read the wsj at our local branch of the County Public Library. Perhaps someone here can access the complete article. Our friend Nicholas Stix has been making this point for years, namely, that reporting crimes is down, not the actual rates.
|
I am not subscribed to the WSJ, but this has been a known problem. Of note, NYC and LA no longer participate in the FBI crime statistics.
Here is a link.
Lott, John R, Jr. Wall Street Journal (Online); New York, N.Y.. 24 Apr 2024.
Americans think crime is on the rise, but the media keep telling them they're wrong. A Gallup survey last year found that 92% of Republicans and 58% of Democrats thought crime was increasing. A February Rasmussen Reports survey found that 61% of likely voters say violent crime in the U.S. is getting worse, while only 13% think it's getting better. Journalists purport to refute this by citing official crime statistics showing a downward trend.
Americans aren't mistaken. News reports fail to take into account that many victims aren't reporting crimes to the police, especially since the pandemic.
The U.S. has two measures of crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting program counts the number of crimes reported to police every year. The Bureau of Justice Statistics, in its National Crime Victimization Survey , asks some 240,000 people a year whether they have been victims of a crime. The two measures have diverged since 2020: The FBI has been reporting less crime, while more people say they have been victims.
The divergence is due to several reasons. In 2022, 31% of police departments nationwide , including Los Angeles and New York, didn't report crime data to the FBI. In addition, in cities from Baltimore to Nashville, Tenn., the FBI is undercounting crimes those jurisdictions reported.
Another reason crimes reported to the police are falling is that arrest rates are plummeting. If victims don't believe criminals will be caught and punished, they won't bother reporting them . According to the FBI, if you take the five years preceding Covid-19 (2015-19) and compare them with 2022, the percentage of violent crimes in all cities resulting in an arrest fell from 44% to 35% . Among cities with more than one million people (where violent crime disproportionately occurs), arrest rates over the same period plunged from 44% to 20%.
Arrests for property crimes dived even more sharply. FBI data show that in 2022, 12% of reported property crimes in all cities resulted in an arrest. In cities of more than one million people, only 4.5% of reported property crimes in 2022 resulted in an arrest.
Based on the National Crime Victimization Survey, only 42% of violent crimes, such as robberies or aggravated assaults, and 32% of property crimes, such as burglary or arson, were reported in 2022. While the Justice Department doesn't track the number of prosecutions, the percentage of arrests that resulted in a prosecution appears to have fallen that year as well.
In large cities, the arrest rate in 2022 compared with the 2015-19 average fell 38% for murders, 50% for rapes, 55% for aggravated assault and 58% for robberies.
While the rate of reported violent crime fell 2.1% between 2021 and 2022, the National Crime Victimization Survey shows that total violent crime—reported and nonreported—rose from 16.5 incidents to 23.5 per 1,000 people. Nonreported violent crime in 2022 exceeded the 2015-19 average by more than 17%.
Data reflect the scant consequences criminals face. During 2022 in cities with more than a million people, only 8.4% of all violent crimes (reported and unreported) and 1.4% of all property crimes resulted in an arrest. Not all those arrests resulted in charges.
Initial estimates cited by some news organizations show murder rates dropping 13% between 2022 and 2023. Murders usually are reported, so they don't have the same reporting flaws as other violent crimes. Yet last year's projected murder rate was still 5.51 per 100,000 people, or 7% above its 2019 level.
Law enforcement has collapsed in the U.S., particularly in big cities. With many Americans no longer confident that the legal system will protect them, some 22 million now have concealed handgun permits. Twenty-nine states have adopted constitutional-carry laws that allow citizens to carry a firearm without a permit. A Crime Prevention Research Center survey last year found that 15.6% of general-election voters carry concealed handguns all or most of the time. That's three times the level found in a 2017 Pew Research Center survey.
A recent Rasmussen Reports survey found that not everyone sees violent crime on the rise. Less than half of likely voters who earn more than $200,000 a year think it is getting worse. Yet a majority of all other income groups disagree. People of both sexes and every race also think crime is getting worse.
It isn't surprising that affluent people can insulate themselves from spikes in crime—but that doesn't mean it isn't happening. Americans aren't simply imagining that our streets have become more dangerous.
Mr. Lott is president of the Crime Prevention Research Center. He served as senior adviser for research and statistics in the Office of Justice Programs and the Office of Legal Policy at the Justice Department.

I'm serious. democratic prosecutors in new york are bringing a fundamentally corrupt case against Trump. maybe he needs to stop legitimizing his tormentors.
By Alex Berenson
apr 24
The Manhattan prosecution of Donald Trump is an embarrassment to the American justice system.
Like Trump or dislike him (and as you know, I dislike him), he is neck-and-neck with Joe Biden in the 2024 Presidential election. Trying the leader of the opposition party on criminal charges is no small matter in a democracy. It should be reserved for very serious crimes - espionage, for example - with irrefutable evidence.
As I wrote Monday, this indictment is the opposite.
Trump faces 34 felony counts for the way he classified internal accounting entries. Prosecutors are relying on hyper-aggressive legal theories and making the case a referendum on Trump's 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton, which was wildly unpopular in New York. They are almost openly telling the jury to punish Trump for having won.
So what, if anything, can Trump do at this point?
The case against Trump fails on every level and twists the purpose of the statute being used against him beyond recognition.Laws against falsifying business records are clearly meant to protect people outside a business who rely on its profit-and-loss statements in deciding whether to lend or invest in it. They're also meant to protect the business itself from employee theft.
Those rationales don't apply in this case.
No one stole from the Trump Organization. Trump did not plan to show the records to anyone else, and it wouldn't have mattered if he had. He wasn't trying to overstate his revenues or hide losses. He paid Michael Cohen $420,000 in 12 installments in 2017, partly to cover Cohen's $130,000 payment in 2016 to the porn actress Stormy Daniels, who claimed Trump had an affair with her.
Trump called the $420,000 payment to Cohen "legal services." Maybe he put it that way because he was embarrassed and didn't want to think about Daniels anymore. Maybe he thought that "legal services" broadly fit the definition of what Cohen had done. Who cares? Trump misclassified an expense in his own records.
That's the entire underlying crime the state is alleging.

Yet the case only gets worse from there.
Falsifying business records is a misdemeanor in New York. It can only be a felony if some underlying felony is committed and the records are falsified to hide it.
But the prosecutors have not charged Trump with any underlying felonies. Though they have referred to a conspiracy by Trump to influence the 2016 election, they have not specified - not even now, not even with the trial underway - what the alleged underlying felony might be.
And, as I pointed out Monday, the actual underlying charges all relate to business records that Trump and his company created AFTER the election.
But wait, there's more!
It is not even clear that Trump's effort to keep Daniels quiet before the election - even if that effort somehow could be legally viewed as part of a conspiracy that extended to the creation of the business records in 2017 - broke ANY New York state laws.
And Matthew Colangelo, the prosecutor who made the opening statement against Trump, was a top Justice Department official until late 2022, when he joined the Manhattan district attorney's office as "senior counsel."
Going from a top federal post to a local prosecutor's office is not a normal midcareer move. Then again, if Colangelo had stayed at Justice, he wouldn't have gotten to help lead a case against Donald Trump, the man that Joe Biden, Colangelo's top boss at Justice, calls a threat to democracy. Convenient.

The picture should be clear.
This prosecution is the opposite of one that should be brought against a major Presidential candidate. It is weak, legally twisted, and overtly political. And the prosecution is framing it more or less openly as an way to punish Trump for having won in 2016.
It should never have reached a jury. But - in Manhattan, where local judges come in two flavors, liberal and leftist - it has.
This case is not like the other criminal indictments Trump faces. Those all have flaws, and the Georgia case is particularly troubled, thanks to Fani Willis's personal antics. But what is happening in Manhattan right now is impossible to square with the rule of law.
Maybe Donald Trump needs to make clear that he will no longer participate in it in the most basic way possible - by giving up any effort in his own defense.
Maybe he needs to fire his lawyers and sit mute and quiet and alone at the defense table until he is convicted, and then dare the judge to sentence him to prison as a first-time 77-year-old nonviolent offender for a business records violation.
This tack is unrealistic, of course, if not outright impossible.
It would go against Trump's instincts, which are to shout and fight at every opportunity. I am not even sure if the judge would allow him to dismiss his counsel mid-case. And presumably his lawyers would tell him he's crazy to do so, that he needs to create a record for appeal.
Yet nothing is more powerful than the innocent defendant who refuses to participate in the spectacle of his own humiliation, who simply says: this game is rigged and I will not play.
Donald Trump, quiet and dignified, awaiting a fate he does not deserve.
Wouldn't that be something?
