It's a HUNG JURY!!

This Bill Crosby trial!


A MISTRIAL! There must have been some fans of his in that jury.

Either way, the civil remedies quite often tend to be far more devastating and justified than the criminal remedies at times like this.

He may not go to prison but he probably won't have a home to go to when it's all over and done. The preponderance of the evidence is far less of a challenge to prove than the "beyond a reasonable doubt" trigger that determines whether there will be a criminal conviction or not.

Dissenting jurors dissent for a number of reasons including appropriateness of the charges, uncertainty, collusion, belief of innocence, lack of evidence, tampering, credibility of witnesses, race, religion, political affiliations, etc.

Who knows what happened in this "Cosby Trial".

IMHO

Before our very eyes!!!

We're being gang-raped as a nation. Obama and his entourage are accomplishing exactly what they've set out to do. They are changing America just like they promised they would... from the land of the free to the land of the subservient. They will not stop until we, as individual citizens and collectively, become slavish to them... to their changes!

I watch as the press villifies those dumb ass republicans and wonder whatever happened to all of the scandals brought out over the years... and currently being mentioned about the demoncrats. What about Senator "Cold Cash" Jefferson and his frozen bundle of "payoff" money? Why isn't he in prison by now? You and I surely would be! Hell, we'd still be in prison awaiting trial from back when we were first accused.

How about Barney Frank, one of the co-masterminds of the failures of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? What about Frank and the ethical conflict of interest he had with his "boyfriend" who served on that there financial oversight committee or whatever it was? How about the charges that his boyfriend "allegedly" ran an escort service out of Frank's home? Why isn't Frank being held accountable for his inept handling and cover ups that led to the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac banking failures and subsequent housing crash?

What about Harry Reid's sons "alleged" unethical lawyering and business "deals"? If I recall, information "suggested" these lucrative deals involved extensive inside information being sent their way... millions were and still are being made by them. Why is he not at least probed a bit more regarding these allegations? And why are the results not publicly posted?

Let's talk about Nancy Pelosi's husband making off with a great deal of cash in another sweetheart deal "allegedly" handed out by insiders in congress? What about her cozy arrangements with all of the illegals in waiting? Will it be amnesty or will it be amnesty? More voters for the dems. What about Chris Dodd's bundle he made by selling stock and other securities just before the market crashed worldwide? That kind of smacks as a conflict of interest. What about his part in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac fiasco? Why is there no accountability here???

...it can and should go on! Repubes and Demoncrats alike!

We could get into the Demoncrats backing the failure of the auto industries, housing markets/finance, health care "reform", witch hunt at Gitmo, etc. but why do the repubes work for them?

There's a feeding frenzy going on of the likes that I've never seen before and the repubes are running with their tails between their legs. Every friggin' politico has abandoned us, the citizens... their "employers" for the sake of saving themselves, of personal greed and to protect their individual nest eggs they've created!

I'm of the belief that the repubes are scattered and hiding in individual spider holes throughout this land when not at mandatory appearances in DC and elsewhere. I'm of the belief that these cowards are hiding and hoping that they individually are not next... abandoning any thought about protecting and serving us, the citizens of this once fine nation!

We're watching the demoncrat thugs as they travel in packs take out individual repube politicos throughout the world... let alone the country. I mean, it's a simple chore. All any politico from either party has to do is sit back and watch for a bit. Observe their adversaries activities, listen, collect information and strike like the belly crawling snakes in the grass they are!

The demoncrats have it down to a fine art. The repubes are in disarray and truly have no collective direction. They're simply looking out for themselves like a bunch of shell shocked hostages.

It's sickening, maddening and downright wrong watching our country being torn to shreds by these selfish, fat cat, greedy, grubbing, scum of the earth politicos... repubes and demoncrats alike!

And it's happening to us right before our eyes! We're just not collectively understanding how we've allowed these freaks to ruin our nation as we know it!

They have no soul... and they're taking ours one soul at a time.

The Paw family gives a bunch...

It seems a good friend of Hillary Clinton's, Norman Hsu, woke up the other morning and found himself in a bit of hot water.

You see, he's been sought by California authorities for "Grand Theft". A bit embarrassing, I know but true.

Hsu admitted to some California authorities awhile back that he took a BUNCH of money from some people... errr, swindled folks out of a BUNCH of their money back in the early 1990's.

It seems he set up some potential investors, took a cool million bucks from them in exchange for importing a bunch of latex gloves or something and well, after getting the money he forgot to import the gloves.

Yup he got the money, no one got the gloves. Go figure... latex gloves.

Big bucks- no gloves- no lube. Poetic.

As the story goes, in 1991 Hsu pleaded guilty and agreed to spend three short years of his life in prison for the, errr... well, theft. Oh yeah, and he agreed to pay restitution.

Herein lies the problem. Hsu actually forgot he copped the plea.

No shit!!! He forgot!!! Just ask Larry, his D.C. attorney.

Here's proof he forgot! The following is an excerpt from an August 29, 2007 story found in the L.A. Times written by Chuck Neubauer and Robin Fields, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers.

Larry is quoted in the article. He explains everything. It's gotta be honest and factual, right? After all, Larry is an attorney!

"Barcella said his client did not remember pleading to a criminal charge and facing the prospect of jail time. Hsu remembers the episode as part of a settlement with creditors when he also went through bankruptcy, Barcella said."

So what we're supposed to believe is that in 1991, shortly after Hsu copped his plea and agreed to do all of those little legal things like serving time and paying restitution he simply forgot. Much like he forgot to import the gloves. Much like he forgot where he lived when he dropped out of sight... except in plain view. He dropped out of sight in plain view. Difficult to understand, I know but he did.

Call it politics. Call it political influence. Call it "making money for the dhimmicrats" type of protection or whatever.

Yup, outta sight in the national media. 15 years worth of hiding in plain view.

So what's Norm got to do with Hillary?

Well, he's one of her major fund raisers. He's already established that he's pretty dat-gammmed good at swindling folks out of their hard earned cash... hell, he's a man of his word and has even agreed to serve 3 years in prison, trust him.

Yup, he's been pretty adept at gathering cash for Hillary and friends, a bunch of dhimmicrats.

I mean, just ask the Paw's.

Their financial contributions to Hillary splashed them onto the front pages of many of our national fish wrappers. Not just Ma and Pa Paw and but the Kid Paws too.

They're one example of the kind of first-time donors Hsu has worked with over the years.

The Paws are a family of six adults, most of whom live together in a small house near San Francisco International Airport. They've allegedly never donated to national candidates until 2004. Since 2005, after meeting Hsu they've donated $213,000 to the dhimmicratic cause. $55,000 to Hill Clinton and $14,000 to various New York state candidates. Not to mention a bunch of money to several other dhimmicrat candidates and politicians... you know "fat cat" Senator Ted Kennedy, U.S. Representative Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania, U.S. Representative Michael Honda of California and political wannabe, comedian Al Franken, a U.S. Senate candidate in Minnesota to mention a few. In all their donations are kind of like a grab bag of donations.

So, one might reasonably ask how a blue collar family living in a small, "modest" home in San Francisco can afford to shell out $213,000.00 to the dhimmicrats over the past two years.

You be the judge. Let's take a closer look at this hard working family.

Pa Paw (William Paw) is a mail carrier and Ma Paw, his wife Alice is a homemaker. Both of them are contributors.

Winkle Paw, a son who evidently works for or with Hsu is another contributor. The other contributors include another son who works for a California school board and two daughters, one who works for a hospital and another who works for a computer company. They all opted to max out their contributions to the dhimmicrat cause.

Either way, at least six members of the Paw family... evidently dedicated dhimmicrats... donated at least $55,000 to Hillary Rodham Clinton since 2005.

Not bad for a bunch of blue collar stiffs.

Understandably, there's some questions regarding the source of funds donated by the Paws and many others like them. Reasonable folks are asking themselves how the Paws could afford those sizable donations to the dhimmicrats and why they'd even be donating to dhimmicrats who are running for New York state's government positions rather than California's.

I'm just wondering if Hsu's seeding the pot here. I guess not... Larry's already explained things to us.

"They have the financial wherewithal to make their own donations," Hsu's Washington D.C. attorney, E. Lawrence Barcella Jr. said. "It didn't come from Norman."

Hey Larry, who'da thunk it? Ya' nervous about things dude? Why would you jump to that conclusion?

In the meantime Hsu's got some legal wankering to do and Hill and friends are scrambling to "get rid" of the money Hsu's given them.

Yeah, right! Trust them! They're going to give it all away.

Uh huh...

Yawn. I tire of the dhimmicrat's corruption.

What should we be looking for?

I've received emails and comments over the past couple of years from individuals, fellow concerned citizens who have thanked me (and others) for bringing to the forefront the threats to our global community brought about by the radical, fundamentalist islamic movement.

A lot of those emailing and commenting ask what they can do themselves in their daily lives to help recognize and subsequently abate these threats.

I've provided information to those that I thought were relevant and on the mark however, Spree at Wake Up America has pretty much summed up seven logical signs that could suggest terrorist activity is occurring.

Keep in mind these signs are not necessarily attributed solely to terrorist activity but if observed individually they should warrant more attention than say, two individuals whispering in a remote area of a park, etc.

If observed as clustered signs then awareness and attention should be heightened. Pay notice to the activities and report them to the appropriate authorities. Let those authorities determine the scale and purpose of them.

So, in short---

Seven telltale signs of possible terrorist (and other criminal) activity

1. Surveillance

If there is a specific target that terrorists have chosen, that target area will most likely be observed during the planning phase of the operation. They do this in order to determine the strengths, weaknesses and number of personnel that may respond to an incident. Routes to and from the target are usually established during the surveillance phase. Therefore, it is important to take note of such things as someone recording or monitoring activities, drawing diagrams or annotating on maps, the use of vision-enhancing devices, having in one's possession floor plans or blue prints of places such as high-tech firms, financial institutions, or Government / military facilities. Any of these surveillance-type acts MAY be an indicator that something just is not right. Nothing is too menial and should not be discarded as such.

2. Elicitation

The second sign or signal is elicitation. What this means is anyone attempting to gain information about a place, person, or operation. An example is someone attempting to gain knowledge about a critical infrastructure like a power plant, water reservoir, or a maritime port. Terrorists may attempt to research bridge and tunnel usage, make unusual inquiries concerning shipments or inquire as to how a military base operates. They may also attempt to place "key" people in sensitive work locations.

3. Tests of Security

Tests of Security are another area in which terrorists would attempt to gather data. This is usually conducted by driving by the target, moving into sensitive areas and observing security or law enforcement response. They would be interested in the time in which it takes to respond to an incident or the routes taken to a specific location. They may also try to penetrate physical security barriers or procedures in order to assess strengths and weaknesses. They often gain legitimate employment at key locations in order to monitor day-to-day activities. In any event, they may try to gain this knowledge in order to make their mission or scheme more effective.

4. Acquiring Supplies

Another area to be cognizant of is anyone acquiring supplies. It may be a case where someone is purchasing or stealing explosives, weapons or ammunition. It could also be someone storing harmful chemicals or chemical equipment. Terrorists would also find it useful to have in their possession law enforcement equipment and identification, military uniforms and decals, as well as flight passes, badges or even flight manuals. If they can't find the opportunity to steal these types of things, they may try to photocopy ID's, attempt to make passports or other forms of identification by counterfeiting. Possessing any of these would make it easier for one to gain entrance into secured or usually prohibited areas.

5. Suspicious People Who Don't Belong

A fifth pre-incident indicator is observing suspicious people who just "don't belong." This does not mean we should profile individuals but what it does mean is that we should profile behaviors. This includes suspicious border crossings and stowaways aboard a ship or people jumping ship in a port. It may mean having someone in a workplace, building, neighborhood or business establishment that does not fit in because of their demeanor, their language usage or unusual questions they are asking. If you are a police officer or a security employee* you may respond to a complaint that may appear to be a routine investigation but results in something much bigger in scope.

6. Dry Runs

Another sign to watch for is "dry runs." Before execution of the final operation or plan, a practice session will be run to work out the flaws and unanticipated problems. A dry run may very well be the heart of a planning stage of a terrorist act. If you find someone monitoring a police radio frequency and recording emergency response times you may very well be observing a "dry run." Another element of this activity could include mapping out routes and determining the timing of traffic lights and flow. It is during this stage that it is actually our best chance to intercept and stop an attack. Multiple dry runs are normally conducted at or near the target area.

7. Deploying Assets / Getting Into Position

The seventh and final sign or signal to look for is someone deploying assets or getting into position. This is a person's last chance to alert authorities before the terrorist act occurs.

It is also important to remember that pre-incident indicators may come months or even years apart. Therefore, it is extremely important to document every fragment of information, no matter how insignificant it may appear and forward this information.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As an aside, it's important to understand that this type of behavior does not necessarily suggest there's terrorism afoot. It does warrant scrutiny and if clustered, certainly warrants some sort of review and subsequent intervention by appropriate authorities.

I'm not a terrorism expert nor am I pretending to be. However, Spree has provided some fundamentally sound indicators of activity that could lead to things less than appropriate and I felt it appropriate to share these indicators with you.

I'm not suggesting paranoia, simply suggesting vigilance when warranted.
