Donald Trump Has Yet To Visit Puerto Rico

Hurricane Maria has knocked out all the power on the island of Puerto Rico, in addition to completely flooding it. Anywhere a person might go involves wading or swimming, and there is virtually no wifi or cell phone service. Could this be why Donald Trump has not bothered to visit Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria? President Obama would have bothered. Even while campaigning for president during 2012, he immediately cancelled his campaign stops in order to survey the damage caused on the East Coast by Hurricane Sandy. Many, many people in New Jersey and New York were also left without electricity, but that did not stop President Obama from responding to his constituents.

Anyone who needs to find out if a friend or relative in Puerto Rico is safe can or call the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration's Office in Washington DC at 202-800-8133 or 202-778-0710. The island's government radio station, WIPR, can be reached at 787-777-0940 and 787-766-0505. Puerto Rico's disaster relief team can be emailed at maria1@prfaa.pr.gov, and, of course, the Red Cross is accepting donations and training volunteers.

Maybe Donald Trump is waiting for electricity and wifi before he visits Puerto Rico. He is, after all, not accustomed to any sort of inconvenience or difficulty.

White House Tapes Are A Hot Item Again

Why would Trump mention tapes, in this day and age, when we can record our surroundings on our phones? Chances are, the only recordings of his conversation with Jim Comey, when he asked Comey to stop investigation Mike Flynn, were cell phone recordings. Trump should stop thinking he can act like a mob boss and start understanding that he must play nicely with others.

Private Message

 

Thankyou very much for your concern. Uncle Fester is fine; we telephoned someone who lives close to where he lives, and he eventually telephoned us. He got a new cell phone and phone number, which is why he hasn't responded to your calls. We told him you asked.

Alissia Freeman Missing From Alabama

Alissia Freeman disappeared last Sunday from her Highland Home, Alabama home. That's a long time for a seventeen year old to be missing. Police are conducting searches for her, and the Crenshaw County Sheriff's phone number is on the poster, above. If you know anything about her whereabouts, or think you have seen her, please call and let them know. And please share her picture all over the internet until she's home.

Ben Fields Is Why Some Cops Are Called Pigs

The name of the pig in the video above is Ben Fields. He is not only a pig, but a football coach at Spring Valley High School, in South Carolina. The child in the video incurred his wrath because he was called on her for refusal to hand over her cell phone to the teacher. The teacher called the principal, who also asked for the cell phone, and she refused to give it to him, as well. And when she refused to leave the room, the cops were called. Could this have possibly been handled any other way?

First of all, why didn't the school call the girl's parents, rather than the police? Why didn't the teacher just wait until after class to talk to the principal about enforcing the rule against cell phones? When the police were called, why didn't the officer wait for backup when the girl refused to get out of her seat, so that she could be apprehended from her crime of sitting still without any violence? And while cell phones are not allowed in many schools, is it a policy infraction or a crime to take a cell phone to school? Does a rogue cell phone on the person of a student really require the expertise of Godzilla? After all, not all schools manage these problems the same way. In Marshall County Kansas, cell phones are allowed in public schools. Even when certain students take guns to school during hunting season, it is often permitted, and the complaints of concerned parents are ignored by law enforcement. Guns, in this case; not cell phones.

Speaking of cell phones, another child in the classroom at Spring Valley High School also had a cell phone, but had not been instructed to turn it over to the teacher, as had the child in the video. As a result, Officer Ben Fields found himself on candid camera. Fields should really have behaved when he saw that camera getting footage of his actions.

Why We Should Never Pick Up Hitchhikers!

Eeeeek! Frightnin'! Not a very safe hitchhiker to pick up!

Police In Motion Pictures

Something law enforcement should remember is that police officers cannot assault and batter anyone they choose without abandon anymore, thanks to the advent of the digital camera and the cell phone. Even if one eyewitness with such a device is pounded to the ground, law enforcement cannot possibly interfere with every filming witness or surveillance camera. Google even snaps random pictures. Finding each and every possible camera isn't even possible, anymore. No matter how loudly police officers threaten those with recording devices, it remains perfectly legal, under the Constitution, to photograph and record them, as long as said police officers are in public. The ACLU has graciously provided us with a guide for gathering such photographic records here. For further enjoyment, there is a picture below of former police officer James Kinsella, at his bond hearing in Omaha, Nebraska, after being charged with felony tampering with evidence because he snatched cameras and SD cards from men who attempted to record evidence of their local police at work. It isn't legal at all for a cop to snatch a cell phone, camera, or an SD card from a citizen.

Another False Arrest Lawsuit In The Making

Here's some cell phone footage taken by someone who was harassed by law enforcement in Sandusky, Ohio. The man was a passenger in a car that was pulled over for no reason. Since he was not the driver, he was not required to show identification, and the police had no business asking him for any. Yet they, and when he refused to play their games, the drug dog was summoned. The police also threatened to give his two week old baby to child protective services. What is not shown in this video is the actual arrest for obstruction of justice followed by the man getting tasered. All because he sat quietly in the car while the driver got pulled over.

On Tuesday, Officer Denny, the racist, pos cop, was put on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation that would never have been initiated without the victim's cell phone video. Folks, the minute you get pulled over, the cell phone needs to be put in video mode. You may think you are white enough, law abiding enough, sober enough, ect., to survive a police officer who is paid to supply privatized prisons with laborers and privatized foster care systems with newborn babies to sell to the highest bidders, but money has to be made some way. This officer thought he had a legal way to traffic defenseless humans.

Violent Cops At School

Do we really need law enforcement in public schools because of cell phones?

Judge Straightens Out Teen Who Sues Parents

In a completely unmerited and absurd case, a New Jersey young adult has moved away from home and taken her parents to court in a silly-assed attempt to sue for tuition for private school, car insurance, and....of all things.....allowance. Where is the eye-rolley when I need it? This young woman reached the age of eighteen in October, yet is still in high school. Because her parents impose a curfew and insist that she do chores, she moved away. Not wanting to play games with their daughter, the parents decided that since the car is not garaged at their home (sound familiar, Laura?) and since their daughter is not living with them, her car insurance and tuition are her responsibility; and they have duly stopped paying. They also stopped giving her an allowance.

Bravo to the judge for taking a common sense stand on this nonsense! Laura McNish, county attorney of Marshall County, Kansas should really pay attention here. Insistence upon respect from one's children for laws and policies concerning automobile insurance is not child abuse, and neither is the imposition of curfews and the requirement of chores. Parents also do not owe their children cell phones and Ipads, McNish. Restricting the use of such devices may make human trafficking more difficult for predators, but it is not child abuse. Conversely, unrestricted use of motor vehicles granted by negligent parents to unlicensed drivers does not, in any way, equal love.....Laura!

At least in Kansas, there is a case in Marshall County, styled State of Kansas v. Keith Lynn Henry, setting a precedent in cases involving these elements. Anyone in Kansas who is accused of child abuse for not giving a child a cell phone or an allowance, or for establishing curfews and rules; should refer to this case.

How did this case even moot court? Has the entire nation gone completely insane?

What were you doing where this picture was taken, in Umpqua Lighthouse State Park, on April 27, 2013? When you lost your phone in the same state, Oregon, during the week of November 11, was there anything authorities could find in it's hard drive, concerning the crime that was committed while you were standing and watching by the lighthouse, where this picture was taken? I may have already inadvertently done my civic duty in reporting it, when I told the Coast Guard you were lost, (my mistake, you weren't really lost, were you?) and gave them a location for you. But when you lost your phone recently, was there information in it that can help solve some of these mysteries that seem to initiate when you happen to be present?

Does Laura McNish, of Marshall County Kansas, always come to the aid of people who were present at crime scenes but don't come forward with the truth? Or is this something she only does when she has something to gain by dishonest means?

Someone in Kansas recently got into legal trouble in Wichita for assisting a crooked cop who didn't report serious crimes, as required by law. When the cop was investigated, she (the cop) bought a cell phone and enlisted the services of a third party use it to threaten and intimidate witnesses in hopes that she could scare them into saying what she wanted them to say, rather than representing the truth with their testimony. That third party answered for the whole affair in court, and the cop in question is not a cop anymore. It seems that the services of crooked cops are easier to terminate than the services of crooked prosecutors.

How much information was available for culling from your phone when you left it at the bus station, and do all of your buddies know how much of a risk it was to trust.....that is, use you?

Ah, for the days of landlines; when information was more difficult to track down!
 

Why Does The FBI Need Ciancia's Cell Phone?

As we all know by now, a young man by the name of Paul Ciancia shot a TSA agent in Los Angeles, by the name of Gerardo Hernandez a couple of days ago. While the media misreported quite a few of the key elements of the incident early on; undoubtedly the sad result of trying to be first in regurgitating certain angles of the story; the actual evidence available to the media, the innocent bystander, and to law enforcement has been straightforward enough to correct almost all of this misinformation and tell a more realistic story of what happened. That said, the actual evidence has also been straightforward enough to establish inarguable probable cause to detain and charge Ciancia with all of the crime associated with his actions. So; why is the FBI even bothering to subpoena Ciancia's cell phone, in search of personal searches, personal messages to others, and personal friends and associations......all to examine his view of government? Why are Ciancia's feelings about America's government so important, when there is already enough evidence to convict him on any charge decided upon before trial?

Paul Ciancia's opinions of government may be useful in establishing a motive for murder and attempted murder. There is no doubt about that. Because of statements he has already made, even a motive for premeditation can easily be established. Unfortunately for Ciancia's defense, there is already enough evidence to lock him up, either in prison or a funnyfarm, for a large chunk of his future. Why bother with personal reflections and other data leading to personal preferences? Can anyone guess what will follow such antics on the part of federal prosecutors?

When all of Ciancia's possible opinions, sleeping and waking dreams, likes and dislikes, subconscious leanings, personality type, romantic preferences, and flatulence directions are established, it will very likely be postulated that anyone who disapproves of government, particularly law enforcement, will be associated with shooters of TSA agents, and also random murderers, and duly demonized. We've seen this type of thing before; can anyone remember a story from Maryland that rocked the nation back in the early 1990's? A young man named Donald Wingo was falsely accused of vandalizing the Yeshiva Of Greater Washington. The Montgomery County Police, of Maryland, were quite liberal in making accusations and rooting through Wingo's home because of a prior criminal record. If this blogger recalls events correctly, they did not even wait for the full investigation of the crime scene! While ripping through Wingo's personal possessions, a deck of Tarot cards was discovered, and the judicial community, in concert with the media, used the deck of Tarot cards as a fulcrum from which to demonize the entire New Age and Pagan community in that area. Eventually, it became abundantly clear to the court that Tarot cards and vandalism have nothing, whatsoever, to do with each other, and that Wingo's criminal record, while heinous, also had nothing to do with this crime. The real culprit, who acted alone, was located and arrested without incident or news coverage. The local and national media took no steps toward publishing the truth, and if any apologies to Wingo's parents for the ransacking of their home were issued by law enforcement, yours truly has yet to hear of it. Note: before anyone protests the sequence of events laid forth in the last few sentences, yours truly does have some information that was ignored by the media and by the court. The effort here was to associate hate crimes with creativity. Law enforcement had not been recognized as recklessly lawless at that time.

 

More recently, the ongoing effort to lull the masses into thinking that law enforcement consists of only "the good guys" is waning. From the prosecutions and harassment of activists to the actual threats to whistle-blowers such as Edward Snowden, whose only "crime" was breaching a contract with an employer to let the rest of us know that our taxes are paying the folks in NSA to spy on their spouses and lovers.......and occasionally, suspected "terrorists", law enforcement and the rest of the judicial community have engaged in violence against innocent people, and in threats to scare anyone who is considering the act of sharing strange but true information about the United States government. In the early 1990's, when the above mentioned case in Maryland, involving Donald Wingo and his Tarot cards took place, there really wasn't a presence among defense lawyers specializing in the representation of whistle-blowers, but now there is. A website with more information is right here: Whistle-Blower Defense League.

There are two reasons that the FBI wants information concerning Paul Ciancia's opinion of government. The first is damage control; let's face it, many of us are not happy with American government lately, for one reason or another. The second is to take it a step beyond damage control and inform the American people, especially children who are still impressionable, that anyone who does not like the government, or authority, is likely to either be, or become, a murderer. Big Brother wants everyone to believe that conformity is next to godliness. What a farce; even the mythical Jesus Christ was an antigovernment nonconformist! So far, there is nothing on record about him killing anyone. While there is not a reason to defend the murder of a TSA agent, there is also not a reason to associate the actions of one troubled young man with anyone who is not in favor of present day American government.

There is one reason that the FBI has gotten a subpoena for the information from Ciancia's cell phone and other electronic media. Ciancia's legal counsel has most certainly told him to stop talking by now.

Moron who does not like activists and non-conformists.

 

 

Cierra Swodeck Is Missing

 

 

Cierra Swodeck, of Lawrence, Kansas, is seventeen years old and was last seen on October 6. She was in foster care in Russell, Kansas, and it was "reported" to her natural mother that a "friend"drove Cierra from Russell to Topeka. It has been almost twenty days since this young lady has been seen by anyone who knows her. That's long time for a seventeen your old to be missing.

 

There are some questions that do not appear to have been addressed by the media in Cierra's case. First; why did law enforcement and the media wait until over two weeks had elapsed to publicize this case? Second; why isn't law enforcement airing this case? Why isn't social services doing more about it? Why is the natural mother, whose parental rights had been suspended by the foster care system, the only person who cares enough about Cierra to pass out flyers, talk to the media, and look for her? Third; Where were the foster parents when Cierra went missing, and what is their timeline on October 6? When a child or an adult is missing, and is being held against his or her will, if the missing person is going to be murdered, it usually happens within the first three hours. Two and a half weeks is way too long of a time to wait to give the case attention. Social Services and the foster parents also have a share of responsibility in this; the taxpayers should not have to think that child protective services will snatch children from parents who love them, place them in living situations hundreds of miles away from home, and not lift a finger, or a phone, when children disappear. There is a Marshall County Kansas foster parent who allows foster children to drink and drive drunk, and even though the police are required by law to arrest any child in DCF custody caught drinking, they never bother.....so it comes as no surprise, here, when law enforcement takes twenty days to start publicizing a foster child's missing persons' case. And, of course,  what were those foster parents doing on October 6, did Cierra have a cell phone, and why did they not have enough control over the goings-on in their state approved foster home to ensure that Cierra did not leave without asking? Finally, did Cierra really go to Topeka with a friend?

 

Anyone with information about Cierra or her whereabouts should call the number to the Russell County Sheriff's office on the poster above.

 

Ask The Dog For References

If only pets could talk. The dog in this video did not like the babysitter. The baby's parents wanted to know why, and they finally hid a camera in the house, and caught the babysitter on camera cussing the baby out and smacking him, because she did not want to change his diapers. No wonder the dog didn't want her to come back! The footage on the cell phone camera, which is what the parents used to capture the babysitter's behavior, provided enough probable cause for an arrest warrant, and now the babysitter is in jail. An animal's reactions should not be overlooked or taken lightly.

Is This Who We Pay The Police To Arrest?

Okay everyone; THIS is law enforcement nowdays. The young man in the video was arrested in California because he stopped and filmed the police in action on his cell phone. This is NOT against the law in this country, anywhere, yet; the man was arrested for obstruction of justice. Most likely, the police officers thought, based on years of past experience, that an innocent person arrested for obstruction of justice would not bother to fight, but just plea. And, most likely, these cops thought they could do whatever they pleased, also based on past experience.

Watch this video, and watch what happens to the man's dog, who reacts defensively when police falsely arrest him and manhandle him. It is important to stop allowing law enforcement to get away with this. The best tool that we have to keep the egos of cops in check are digital cameras and cell phones. Remember that.
 

West Virginia Bags A Disgusting Creep

Bully for law enforcement in West Virginia! A woman complained to police in Berkeley County that someone she had recently dated pestered her for indecent photos of her six year old daughter and they actually tracked him to Colorado via his cell phone records. Now he's in Eastern Regional Jail on a $10,000 bond. It should really be more, but at least it's unlawful to target children in West Virginia. That's him on the left. His name is Christopher Lee Brown. Hopefully, the folks at the jail will remember to tell the other inmates why Mr. Brown is incarcerated.

 

More Violent Cops

David Silva, of Bakersfield, California, was beaten to death earlier this month by eight police officers. Apparently, he was unconscious outside of an hospital, suspected of being intoxicated. Instead of taking him inside the hospital, it looks, on the footage taken by onlookers with cell phones, as if the police simply began to batter Silva with clubs, and did not stop until he was dead. Then, as a finale, they grabbed the cell phones and camaras upon which witnesses filmed the event, and even chased down a couple of witnesses at their homes to confiscate any footage and threaten anyone who might testify.



 That action of grabbing the cell phones of witnesses reminds me of the cop in Marshall County, Kansas, who, with no concern for the law or with my physical safety, grabbed me in an attempt to stop me from calling the mother of someone he had just arrested to go pick up the children who had been left by themselves. The same police officer also assualted my daughter, and also by grabbing a phone out of her hand, when she tried to call her dad during an incident wherein he was bullying an innocent person. He would not allow a seventeen year old to call her dad.

 It is not, and never has been, unlawful to film and record law enforcement in action. If a police officer is not doing anything wrong, he should not worry about public perception of his actions. And as for calling a child's grandmother because the Marshall County Kansas cop arrested a mom and insisted upon leaving a five year old and a seven year old alone, I will do the same thing again, if necessary. Below is commentary on the police brutality death of David Silva.
 

 

Kansas Cop Forces Mother To Abandon Children

While taking care of some business at the local courthouse here in beautiful Northeast Kansas, an officer came barreling through the hallway, making everyone clear space for him to march a young woman, whom he had just arrested, down the hall. He sat her down, momentarily, on a bench. Then she recognized me, having met me in the past, (this is a small community, and her children are close in age to my children) and called out my name. She explained to me that the police had taken her into custody and had left her children, ages five and seven, by themselves! She wanted me to call her mother on my cell phone and ask her to go watch them...that was all. As I began to oblige, the officer grabbed my arm and snatched my cell phone away from me. While I continued to grasp the cell phone, he hollered, "If you help her, I will arrest you, too!" He stopped me from dialing, but found himself not technically savvy enough to remove the phone number, and he further screamed, "End it!", letting go of both yours truly and the cell phone.

My husband explained to me that earlier in the day, there had been a big drug bust in the area, and quite a few people had been arrested for violating prohibition laws. He was also of the opinion that the officer had put the woman in this position deliberately, so as to force her to choose, when deciding who to call, between her mother and her lawyer. Furthermore, if social services had been sent to her home, and taken the children, the mother could also be charged with child neglect and abandonment, even though the police had taken her into custody. And asking me to call her mother to take care of the children had somehow become criminalized behavior.

What the hell is the matter with everyone in Northeast Kansas? Times were, during my misspent youth, my big mouth and my boozy breath were factors that almost got me arrested, more than once. Now that I am "old"......as per my childrens' descriptions.....and a little more conservative, no one looks at me and thinks "outlaw", these days. But I'm gonna get arrested for calling someone's mother to go babysit her children? Kansas law enforcement, have you lost your minds? Or is this another way you feed the human trafficking market you call a foster care system?
 

Busted! You Can Run But You Can't Hide!

Unless the ringtone you are using is the sound of flatulence, your anal passage probably isn't the best place to hide your cell phone when you are in jail. At least, that's what a prisoner in India discovered. He hid the phone up his anus when he heard the approach of a guard, and was taken to the hospital when he was unable to stand up straight. Before too long, the man's friend decided to call back. The ring tone did not sound like stomach sounds, and an Xray confirmed the suspected truth: the prisoner had inserted the contraband into his rectum in order to avoid detection! When he was unable to retreive the cell phone, (also unable to answer it) the doctor proposed surgery. (a telephone-ectomy?) The man begged them to consider less invasive options, and proceeded to crap the phone and the accessories out onto the floor. In the future, will defense attorneys in India be forced to recommend this ringtone, http://www.zedge.net/r1522006?src=d, as the ringtone of choice, to all prisoners?

In a similar story, snagged from CNN, there's a little boy who insists that he did not eat his mother's cake sprinkles.

 

 

Is True Nelson A Terrbot?

Several days ago, I posted on this site about True Nelson, his blog, and some horribly unkind suggestions he made about the parents of Kyron Horman, who disappeared from his Portland Oregon School in June of 2010. He suggested that Kyron's mother, Desiree Young, moved the court to abate a lawsuit she filed in June of last year against Terri Horman, Kyron's some time stepmother and the last person with whom Kyron was seen. I cited legal documents and reliable media sources which identified the office of the Multnomah County District Attorney as the party who requested that the lawsuit not move forward immediately, not Desiree Young. I also pointed out that any parent who loves his or her children is not going to care about any of the things that True Nelson suggested might constitute a reason for Desiree to stop looking for Kyron: reputation, cross examination by Terri Horman's attorney, and "skeletons in her closet". I will say this once again, True; all I see and hear whenever Desiree makes a statement to the press is a mother who wants her missing son back. If you have children of your own, you should know better.

Tonight, I glanced at his blog again, and I noticed a comment to one of his posts about Kyron that looks like it could only have been written by someone who wants the media and public opinion to shift from wondering where Terri Horman could possibly have hidden Kyron to blaming the school. It deals with possible culpability on the part the Kyron's school, Skyline Elementary. Here it is:

"I think the school did get a pass. They should have been pressed more from the start, and each teacher, principal, janitor intensely questioned. For them to delete the electronic records from that day (and LE didn't even request them) is disgusting. Schools are union shops as are LE. It would have been better to bring in outsiders to investigate and it has always troubled me that the parents haven't done that."

Let me break this down for everyone, in case there is anyone out there who cannot see through this. First of all, the police do not sit around and discuss every investigative tactic they use in a situation such as the disappearance of a child with the media. Not only do they NOT owe the general public information about the evidence they collect at a crime scene, they do not have time to discuss those things! Second, they interviewed hundreds and hundreds of people, over and over. They did interview the staff at the school, and the staff was forthcoming with all the information they had! There is only ONE PERSON who was not forthcoming with information, and whose accounts, I repeat, ACCOUNTS.....she gave more than one story about her whereabouts that day.......and that is Terri Horman. She's also the one who failed at least two polygraphs, according to her son, James Moulton. Terri Horman is the only loose end here; the school was willing to account for the whereabouts of it's staff that day.

Allow me to move on to the subject of deleting electronic records. While a phone log for the landline at the school may not have been kept, beyond voicemail and answering machine messages, no email received or sent by the school could have ever been truly deleted at the school's end. Why? Because a sent email has a sender and a recipient, and in the case of a school, often a sender and many recipients. So even if the school scrubbed all of it's hard drives, (it didn't, trust me) the people who had sent and received the electronic communiques would still have had them. At least a few of those people. Also, a lot of electronic information is stored in the cloud, and once that happens, the computer or cellphone of origin ceases to matter. The information is stored on whichever website was used, and can still be retrieved, which, I'm sure, was done. Also, electronic information, such as ISP numbers and IP addresses can very easily be tracked. Very easily. So rest assured, person who thinks the Skyline Elementary has hidden electronic information; it did not happen. The only relevant electronic products in connection to Kyron's disappearance that were not inspected by law enforcement are the burn phones that were bought by a "friend" for Terri Horman.

That comment really sounds like it was made by someone who does not understand how information moves in today's world. It also sounds as if it was made by someone who would like to lift the cloud of suspicion away from Terri Horman. Perhaps Terri Horman's mother, Carol Moulton? Hmmm? I think it's possible. The element that I find most distubing here; however, is the fact that the comment to True Nelson's blog also sounds like it was made by someone who does not want Kyron found. That, I think, is completely wrong.
