Government, Why Control Entitlement Fraud?

Chicago, IL--In order to collect food stamps, welfare, and those wildly popular cash cards the government won’t demand proof of legal residency or even positive identification of the recipients.

Fingerprinting and a little database management could prevent redundant payments, ineligible precipitants, and alike.  Our politicians can be counted upon to obstruct any effort to contain the fraud.

The direct deposit of funds into bank accounts allows those on the dole to live anywhere in the world as they collect from as many as 50 states.  Grab a few identities along the way and the sky is the limit! 

Around 1970 I learned a trick by a high rolling Chicago lady.  She had furs, jewels and bought a new car every year.  She complained about the cost of her facelift saying everyone was entitled to such elective medical procedures free of charge.   

The woman had at least a dozen names on a mailbox at an apartment where she did not even live. Like clockwork this woman went to the mailbox when the entitlement checks rolled in collecting them.

I learned later she created sham residences in Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana and pulled the same stunt in those states. She complained that her trips to get the checks and cashing them locally were exhausting and interfered with her winter travel to the Bahamas.

The woman spent a lot of time gathering and cashing checks she’d never have to deal with today. Those trips to the mailboxes are a thing of the past since electronic banking is here to stay. 

I dated the woman's daughter who was a student at a local university who went on to a free ride at a prestigious graduate school courtesy of mom's entitlements.

Unfortunately the woman died before the new banking technology made occupation easier than ever.

United States vs William Cozzi and Self-Incrimination Rights

Chicago, IL—In the case against Chicago police officer William Cozzi, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals today has nullified longstanding agreements that protect officers from statements made in administrative proceedings.

Every American other than police officers has an absolute right to remain silent when under investigation. Police agencies have the difficult job of sorting out events to determine if their officers are acting within the law and established department policies.

The police agencies have determined a way to obtain their officer’s cooperation during internal investigations through immunization agreements that preclude those statements from being used in court against the officers.

Because of the Cozzi opinion any officers who cooperates with the department during an internal investigation are fools that can expect to see whatever they say used against them anyway.

Any officer that has to for example, use any force whatsoever is crazy to make a written report or submit to an interview. The administrative rights practice is worthless and void.

It would then be wrong to fire officers that simply refuse to incriminate themselves. Cops deserve no fewer rights than any other citizen. The right to remain silent is sacred. Waiving that right may earn you a prison cell, disgrace, your pension and your life.

This really means that if cops simply don’t make arrests, they will never need to use or explain why they used force to make an arrest. Making arrests is hazardous to officer's careers and freedom.

The Cozzi case is now the law of the land unless overturned by the US Supreme Court:

Cozi Opinion

The Only Cure To Chicago’s Violence

Chicago, IL—In Chicago the ghetto rats know the cops are too ineffective to even begin to controlling them.

Cops are bound by stringent rules and discipline. Cops are not allowed to arm themselves with more effective weapons and will never have parity with the thugs.  This is aggravated by the mismanagement and theft of taxpayer funds in a terrible economy.

The law-abiding people in the community are not allowed to help beyond snitching and they have no reasonable means for self-defense when the thugs retaliate.

To take control of Chicago’s streets police need a cooperative effort between armed, law-abiding citizens and police. In the words of my friend, Professor John Lott, "More guns, equals less crime."

The only cure:

1.    A right to carry law for reasonable self-defense. 

2.    Free firearms training including the laws and liability of the justifiable use of deadly force.

3.    City leaders must invite the law-abiding to use all necessary and lawful might including deadly force to protect their homes, families and selves.

4.   Police should encourage armed citizens to display their FOID cards that identify them as law-abiding but armed citizens during those times when police have responded to a tense situation.

We are at war with violent criminals and throughout history no war has ever been won without citizen-soldiers accepting their responsibility. The police can’t solve this problem alone.  

It would not be difficult to convince certified firearms instructors to teach classes in local churches and community centers on a voluntary basis.  Gun ranges are cheap to construct and Chicago has lots of vacant land.   

Measures like these are not new in America. They are lawful and will create the needed partnership to control violence and keep the peace.

You cannot expect disarmed and helpless people to risk their lives helping police or even informing on the dangerous thugs that rule the ghettos.  

The ghetto rats could face extinction if only the City of Chicago would develop a mindset to make productive and law-abiding citizens an important part of the solution.  

Blago’s Lawyer Made A Fool of Judge Zagel In Court

Chicago, IL—In the otherwise boring but high profile trial of former Governor Rod Blagojevich great pains were made by prosecutors and Judge James Zagel to protect every member of the Obama Mafia from exposure or attention. I can’t help but believe there are sinister motives behind Zagel’s rulings.

I saw an incredibly cleaver move by the feisty Sam Adam, Jr. who proved to be a legal clone of his legendary father.

Frustrated by the constant over-protection of the Obama Crime Organization and convicted criminals associated with those Whitehouse occupants, Adam found a great solution.

Adam wanted to jury to know that he was not permitted to bring in or examine the Whitehouse Mafia members. Adam wants everyone to know they’re being protected for nefarious reasons. Judge Zagel put his massive foot right on Adam’s throat threatening him in the process.

That got major press attention. Adam is no fool he ran with that football for a major touchdown by suggesting he’d go to jail if necessary to inform the jury. The press bought into this slug-fest and it was the top story of the entire trial.

The jury here has not been in a vacuum and contrary to instructions can’t really avoid media reports especially when they involve material they were not supposed to hear.

Adam accomplished his mission by using Zagle's considerable weight against him. The jury did hear that the Obama mafia has escaped any and all scrutiny and the jury has been denied hearing all the evidence. This is a great reason for a juror backlash and perhaps even an acquittal.

Youtube and Influencing Wayward Jurors, During Court Trials

As a private investigator and blogger I have learned a sad truth. The vast majority of people on jury duty are bored, and for excitement they violate absolutely every court order on avoiding published or broadcast materials regarding the cases they are deciding.

The very first thing a surprising number of people do on jury duty is a Google search on the names of the key players. Who will try and stop these folks in the privacy of their own homes?

The First Amendment allows anyone to publish anything they wish before cases are to be tried or court orders are issued. A pre-litigation documentary film setting out the facts away from the constraints of the courtroom is an incredible public relations tool to help any litigant or criminal defendant.  

The litigants themselves would be foolish in most cases to say anything on camera about their cases since anything they say can be used against them. The same goes for their witnesses.

Getting the other side parties and adverse witnesses to blab is sometimes all too easy.  Having video of this is terrific but only of placed where the jury members will find it. With Google everything is now in plain sight.   

There are a number of things such as the sordid pasts of adverse witnesses and things that would sway a jury that are kept secret from them. You can give the jury a credibility roadmap of witnesses they will never see in court.

Effective narration could inform the viewers in a credible way what the real causes of the event were and or any theories.

Documents, photographs, video effortlessly and lawfully can be published to jurors that judges will never allow during a trial.

With the new 15 minute length YouTube just offered their users is just perfect for pre-litigation documentaries designed to expose the truth. I’ve been blessed with many years as an investigative TV news producer to make the perfect documentary for most litigants. This kind of small investment in a case may be worth its weight in gold. 

In many cases it may be a wise move to inform the jurors of their absolute right to nullify controversial laws with their verdicts.

Remember, the only people violating court orders or laws here are the wayward jurors.  I can’t wait for the first request I get to make a pre-litigation documentary film that jurors can easily access on the internet. 

America’s Military Muslim Adventures Must End.

Washington, DC—I will begin by blaming George H.W. Bush and then George W. Bush. Barack Obama is no better here at all.

John F. Kennedy in an honorable effort wanted to protect countries in Southeast Asia from the Communist menace sent our kids to war.  We took over for the French and began to sacrifice some 60,000 of our country’s kids protecting South Viet Nam. For everyone killed there were five more with horrible injuries both physical and mental.

Soon the Communists and Socialists within our own government began obstructing and aiding our enemies. The Socialist majority in our Congress made sure our military did not have the tools or orders to stop the invasion from the North including China. The war was prolonged until our exhausted soldiers were withdrawn.

Millions of non-Communists were murdered in the holocaust that we allowed to take place after. It was a victory for world Socialism.

Now these politicians have sent our kids off for the impossible task of separating good Muslims from the bad ones in Iraq and Afghanistan when we should have simply turned both countries into nuclear wastelands.  13th century style Muslim tribes are simply sending our children home in rubber bags or wheelchairs. 

Those backward countries will threaten us until we blow them out of existence. If we are to fight a war we must do what it takes to win it and our government does not want to happen. There is no point in the vast waste of military resources and American lives in a pretend effort.

It’s time to fold our tents and go home. We are not the world police force. American patriots need to start a war against Communism and Socialism at home. We must clean our own house now. There are lots of Communists that need eradication within our own government here. If blood is to be spilled, let it start here since the survival of liberty and free enterprise requires that. A good Communist is a dead Communist.

TV News Has To Make Changes or Die

Houston, TX—Edward R. Murrow and other TV news pioneers dictated the format of TV news.  Beyond high definition color broadcasts and glitzy graphics for our new flat panel TVs little has changed in the 55 years since.

The teleprompter along with pleasant personality with and a decent smile has made the anchor.  The anchors for the most part were serious journalists but that all ends the moment they sit in the anchor’s throne.  News gathering is no longer their responsibility.

We pay the pretty news readers much more than reporters and they are the ones that get the celebrity treatment. But are anchors really needed?

Tribune broadcasting is about to find out after their Houston station, KIAH-TV (CW) jettisoned their newsreaders and are about to begin broadcasting without them.

TV news has lost huge amounts of revenue and cutting the fat out of the budget can’t be avoided. Anchors are expensive.  Anchors do bring order to the stories as the serves as guides to the newscasts.  They are the ones that deliver’s the tease on upcoming stories to motivate viewers away from using their remote controls.

It will take some cleaver news writing and jockeying around by producers to eliminate the anchors. I think we all need to hold our breath and see how this works.

Max Headroom the computer generated news anchor seen above was ahead of his time when he first appeared in the 1980’s.  Perhaps he is now back, with a vengeance! 

There is good news in all of this for me.  That is, instead of watching some lame TV news broadcast you are visiting me!  We will see how this all shakes out, until then stay tuned. Oops! Please excuse that anchor style tease!

Arizona And The Illegal Immigration Crisis

Phoenix, AZ—I’ve known State Senator Russ Pearce for 30 years and Governor Jan Brewer and Sheriff Joe Arpiao for nearly as long. They all have had to live with and personally pay for the consequences of the failure and refusal of the federal government to do its duty securing our borders and tax treasury.

Pearce was a Maricopa County Deputy Sheriff long before Sheriff Joe Arpaio came to Arizona. He had to deal with the drug smugglers, dealers and the crimes such as kidnapping and murder that are no small part of that illegal alien culture. Pearce has seen the bodies of the victims murdered by the criminal aliens and has had to risk his life arresting the killers.

Jan Brewer and every other Arizona taxpayer has had to personally shell out for the entitlements, entitlement fraud, medical care, criminal prosecution, criminal defense and jailing of an unimaginable population of trespassers that have invaded Arizona.

Along with crime, poverty and drugs the trespassers bring diseases of every description from countries where people don’t get routine immunizations for prevention.

Brewer, Pearce and Aripao are simply doing their duty to the citizens of Arizona required by law. They have all had their very lived threatened and have been made victims of a vicious hate campaign for doing the jobs they were elected to do.

Mexico and the other countries the invaders abandoned are not sending us their doctors or engineers. Many are employable but force American citizens and lawful aliens to compete with them for jobs in an impossible economy.

The Leftist darlings of our major media organizations overlook the Federal crime of Obstructing Justice being committed by countless government officials. The media has also have waged a propaganda war trying to indoctrinate Americans to accept this invasion as they ignore the financial impact on American families.

These sub-standard corrupt nation’s, population have a duty like our own American founding fathers to overthrow the despots and create a new government that emulates that in the country where they wish to live. Freedom is not free but hard won with the blood of patriots.

Pearce and Brewer have a duty to protect Arizona, their taxpayers and thankfully they’ve stepped up to the plate to deal with it as the oaths that have taken dictate.

Americans have been redundantly polled on this issue. The will of our people is to enforce immigration laws and reject the amnesty demands of the criminal aliens and their supporters. Americans have said no in overwhelming numbers.

Americans don’t hate Mexicans or those from the other countries south of our border. Americans do hate poverty, crime, ignorance and being forced to pay for it. This has never been about race or racism. This is really all about Socialists desperately trying to create a new and poorer America that will embrace Socialism rather than reject it.

Socialism can’t thrive in a prosperous free nation.

Drew Peterson Rifle, Protected By The Second Amendment—Motions Filed

Joliet, IL—Drew Peterson’s lawyers filed two separate Motions to dismiss charges that Peterson unlawfully possessed a short barreled rifle in violation of Illinois law.

The Peterson weapon charge was and is nothing more than a conspiratorial police method of stripping Peterson of his right to possess and carry a firearm.  Authorities want to justify this because Peterson is under two active but yet unsolved investigations.

People under investigation cannot be stripped of rights by police.  This was an end run around the laws and nothing more. Simply said police and prosecutors violated Peterson’s Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

 The exact charge Peterson faces is "Unlawful Use Of A Weapon under 720 ILCS/24(a)(7)(ii), to wit: having possession of a rifle, a Colt Sporter Lightweight AR‐15 .223 Caliber Serial# SL025365, with a barrel length less than 16 inches in length on November 1, 2007."

Motion to dismiss Re: LEOSA ACT is sealed. 

I can tell you that there is a somewhat new Federal Law called the Law Enforcement Officer's Safety Act that immunizes cops that possess such weapons.  Since cops are never arrested for such crimes there’s no relevant case law to expressly deal with a short barreled rifle.

Drew Peterson was on the SWAT team and they were required to obtain their own suitable weapons. Those weapons are used during hostage rescue and hazardous search warrant operations.  The need for a shorter barrel is so that in the confined space of doorways and such suspects cannot wrest the rifle away from the officer and use it against him or innocent bystanders.  The use of a longer barrel would become a public safety risk.

Examination of the various weapons used by police and federal officers throughout the land would reveal the popularity of the short barrel rifles and carbine for police work.  Peterson should have immunity and be covered under LEOSA .

I’m not sure I understand why this motion is sealed or what it could contain to make it a secret.

Motion to Dismiss under the Second Amendment is not sealed.

Peterson has also sought refuge under the Second Amendment with the three major rulings that have reaffirmed the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms.

The weapon is protected under USA vs. Miller, District of Columbia vs. Heller and McDonald vs. City of Chicago.  The 70 year-old Miller case specifically protects weapons suitable for military use such as the Peterson rifle. .  

The burden to prove a crime here is on the state as always. The defenses available are nothing less than awesome.  I guess liberty conveys a lot of power to all Americans.

In the end, this shockingly frivols charge should fail.

African-American Entitlement Zombies-- A Product Of American Social Engineering

Washington, DC—In what could only be describe as racist inspired effort to establish Socialism in America, the African-American Entitlement Zombie was created.

When the state residency requirements to collect welfare were outlawed by the Earl Warren Court in the early 1960s the poorest African-Americans began a mass-migration to the big cities. The outlawed residency requirements insured that welfare assistance would automatically be denied to anyone who could not establish that they were a resident of that state for at least one year.

States like Michigan, Illinois, New York, Maryland and Ohio paid generous benefits to those people unable or unwilling to work. The states in the Deep South did not believe in the handout programs.

Racist Southern officials soon realized they could export their poorest African-Americans through educating them of the generous entitlements in the North. Officials actually provided one way bus transportation and five dollars in cash to anyone who’d voluntarily leave. The overloaded buses left the South taking millions of needy people far away from local taxpayer’s and their pockets.

The already challenged African-Americans wasted no time settling into the Land of Milk and Honey. The welfare rolls in the North burst as the political climate changed dramatically. Those addicted to entitlements always vote for politicians that bring more entitlements. This knowledge was fully exploited by the hard corps Socialists in our government. This was and is truly a vicious circle.

The schools were quickly adapted to become day care or free breakfast and lunch centers. Learning the three R’s took a back seat to learning about entitlements.

Every effort was made, to establish a new, right to not to have to work. That concept took hold and the African-American Entitlement Zombie was born. They were people who could be controlled by relatively small amounts of free money. If they wanted more money crime was the vehicle to obtain anything extra. That was considered a “Black thing” by the racist White Socialists.

They conveniently housed these people in huge ghettos away from their elite neighborhoods. The real estate industry was more than cooperative in assisting through their Blockbusting programs that provided handsome profits to speculators and destroyed the home investment of millions of White homeowners. The tool of the Blockbuster’s trade was a simple for sale sign and the sight of shabbily dressed African-Americans home shopping. The result was panic selling at fire sale prices.

The sad truth is African-Americans were exploited redundantly and today Socialists have replaced the slave owners. They created a vast underclass of needy, ignorant, violent people that will never escape their pre-programmed existence.

The Socialists have created a broad base of African-American supporters of Socialism since they have no alternative. They have been denied the tools of self-reliance and financial survival. They’ve been encouraged to develop a culture of single-motherhood, drug use, crime and the right to demand free money.

This social engineering scam was as racist a plan that was ever created. The scheme has, destroyed lives, and overloaded our jails and prisons as it dramatically slowed America’s productivity and growth.

There are lots of Fat-Cat African-American’s that deserve a great deal of blame for this mess within our own government. They don’t have to live in or be a part of what they helped create. The decades old Congressional Black Caucus led by none other than Barack Obama has done everything they could to maintain the underclass of African-American Entitlement Zombies in America.

Are we ready for President Joe Biden?

Image via Wikipedia

Washington, DC—It’s going to happen well within the 909 days left in Barack Obama’s presidency.  Obama will be removed from the Whitehouse one way or another over his treason, corruption revelations, or his exposed foreign origin. 

Obama’s resignation, impeachment or removal by other means will spark African-American riots in every major American city. That will be Joe Biden’s welcome as he takes the oath of office.  As always the damage and lost lives will be limited to the ghettos and nearby retail businesses.

 Other than being an African, Obama does not have much in common with, nor has he done anything significant to improve the lives of African-Americans.  Having dark skin alone and a Muslim name has not an icon made.  After a year of Jubilation by African-Americans of Obama’s election disappointment is rumbling because things are getting worse instead of improving.  

Joe Biden’s been kept away from daily Whitehouse affairs and is not well-regarded by Obama’s cabinet and policy Czars.  Biden is simply tolerated from the distance and that’s a sure sign that a flood of resignations will follow Obama’s departure.

As for Biden’s moment in the sun, it will be a short one at that.  The Democratic Party will have to purge their Socialists and Communists if they are to survive as a mainstream political organization. Obama's brief Red regime has already run its course far beyond the ability of taxpayers to fund his Socialist dictated entitlement Utopia.

We will have probably an eight year run of new found Conservative policy in the Whitehouse.  Please don’t for a second suggest either President named George Bush were conservatives.  After that the Hispanics, Blacks and Muslims will be the majority that may either reject or embrace Socialism by then.

Conservatives must return America to a free market system with prosperity for all those willing to work for it or the American experiment will perish.

No matter what happens, Obama will have left his mark as en empty suit trying to do the impossible.  He tried to make socialism work in a country that has rejected that form of government.

Why Solving Ghetto Killings In Chicago Is The Last Priority

Chicago, IL—When Chicago police do the job they were trained to do people are arrested taken to jail, tried and in the vast majority of cases convicted.

When Ghetto Rats are arrested, the natural way friends and family members of the accused do what they know works to defeat the arrest. They go to the politicians, local ministers and media as they complain and hold protest demonstrations. Of course this always comes with the obligatory phony allegations of racial profiling, brutality and falsified evidence.

Chicago cops are underpaid, undermanned, outgunned, demoralized and simply tired. They and their families are exhausted from drowning in a sea of chaos every time they make an arrest. The constant phony allegations, internal investigations, and stress related to doing their job has taken a terrible toll.

Are cops assigned to ghetto districts suffering from a form of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome? I have to suspect that’s been the case all along. There can only be one treatment and that’s to avoid contact with the community that will turn negative. No confrontations, no arrests, no stress, no media accusations, no internal investigations keep officers healthy with secure employment.

Cops have children to support, house payments and responsibilities we refuse to saddle the Ghetto dwellers with, in our Socialist, entitlement driven society. If cops do their jobs properly their marriages, financial stability and very lives become endangered.

The political and racial climate of Chicago has cops in a constant state of siege. Cops have to protect themselves and their reputations. That’s not the fault of the cops but the Mayor and City Council that are so desperately trying to stay in power so they can enjoy the fruits of their unbridled corruption.

Chicago cops can never be motivated to doing what must be done to remove predators, thugs and drug traders from the city’s streets. As long as every cop know that doing their job will bring them deceit, despair and doom they can’t be forced to do anything but avoid trouble.

There is no solution except to educate Chicago’s African-Americans and strip them of their bankrupt culture of violence and lawlessness.

That same culture keeps African-Americans at the lowest possible rung of our society. They are ignorant, unemployable, violent, addicted, lazy, and most importantly needy. To allow for this mutation of a human species is deplorable and beyond racist.

The only possible salvation for a ghetto child is to somehow find a mentor from outside that will motivate and assist them to somehow break free of their pathetic single mothers and pre-programmed, impossible plight.

The politically correct and required tolerance for Chicago’s deplorable African-American culture is what has corrupted generations of people. These people should and would become self-reliant, educated and productive human beings but for some insane social engineering experiment gone terribly wrong.
