Trump Cries About Wiretaps

In case there is someone out there in Internetland who has not heard, Donald Trump has dominated Twitter, yet again, with yet another petty complaint. This time, it is an accusation against Barack Obama; specifically, that he had the phones at Trump Tower wiretapped during the election. Here's what he said, among other things:

While it is tempting to simply write this off as another stupid sounding complaint by an unqualified and ill-elected president, it is important to note the reaction of Kevin Lewis, Obama's spokesman, prior to passing judgement.  "A cardinal rule of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice. As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false, " Lewis stated.

This is interesting. A president cannot order the wiretapping of any American citizen's phone, or any unconstitutional invasion of privacy. If Donald Trump does not know this, and must reach out to his Twitter audience for an answer, he is too stupid for the oval office. Another very telling aspect of Lewis's remark is what he said about DOJ investigations. As it happens, there actually WAS a warrant, which was not obtained by the White House, but by the FBI, to investigate communications at Trump Tower. It centered on a server which was found to be communicating with Russia's Alfa Bank, which has strong ties to Vladimir Putin. It seems that Mr. Trump just found out about the FBI investigation yesterday.

As long as an investigation is ongoing, the FBI is usually not inclined to comment or speak publicly about it. Had Donald Trump just resisted the urge to tweet, many, many Americans would not be aware, today, that the FBI has been investigating his computer and email activities, in connection to his relationship with entities in Russia. It seems plausible that we will hear more about this in the future.

Bye-bye, Reverend Finn

The pope has accepted the resignation of Bishop Robert Finn, of Kansas City, Missouri, who pretty much got away with protecting one of his priests, Shawn Ratigan, when police came knocking on the door, search warrant in hand, requesting more information. After removing the computer requested by law enforcement and concealing it at another address, the court found him guilty of "failing to report" the crime and gave him "suspended probation". What a farce, and a mockery of justice! Shawn Ratigan had actually produced and trafficked kiddie porn while preaching the gospel, and Finn was more interested in protecting the kiddie porn, the kiddie porn producer, and the computer involved than in protecting his religion or the children involved. Sometimes, one simply has to take a minute to see christianity for what it so often is, and sleep in one Sunday morning.

Cedar Rapids Iowa

I've asked you before, person whose signal hails from Cedar Rapids, Iowa: what do you want? I know of more than one IP address and location from which you browse this site. I have also noticed you on a mobile device or two. I know which posts grab your interest. I also know who you are. You have not; however, told me what you want.

If you want the things I share on this site to change, don't hold your breath. This is my site, and the words I publish are not chosen to please you. They are not chosen to please the subject of most of the posts you read and re-read, either. That is something I do not owe either of you. Your sister initially thought I did, but she was sadly mistaken. Ha! That was certainly amusing! The First Amendment of our Constitution, here in America, grants all Americans the same rights that are enjoyed by your sister. I do not need a special license to publish the truth; I have freedom of speech, and freedom of expression. Since your sister's position is elected, I can tell the general public anything about her that I think will attract their interest. In order to obtain a measure of protection from that, and enjoy some shelter from liable or slander, she would have to resign her elected position. The fact that no one ran against her does not matter.

What was so important on this site that you actually took time away from your family and spent it here, with me, on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day? If there is something you desperately need to know, by all means, email me! Use the information in my profile to do so, or send me a comment, but mark it "private". I will not publish it; I moderate the comments here. Don't cheat your children out of time with their mother on holidays! That's a little old fashioned, I know. It's also something your sister failed to understand about me, and about the family she attempted to destroy. While our rights are guaranteed us by the government, familial affection, obligation, and tradition are not. Those things transcend government control of any kind. Children who are loved are also a lot less likely to drive their parents' vehicles over the cornfields, lawns, and gardens of others.

If you want me to stop sharing the things I find interesting, you will spend eternity waiting. No one who is vested in the government, or the Koch Brothers; as the case may be; is going to tell me what to share on my site. Or in person, for that matter. I will never be blind enough to believe that the government can and should ruin the physical and social environments of people here on Earth. And don't expect my exercise of the first amendment to ever stop, as long as there are humans on this planet. This goes back to why you should spend holidays with your children, rather then scoping the internet, in search of opposition. While the pen is mightier than the sword, the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the nation. Who rocks the cradle in your home?

Hello Again, Fishy Fishy

Hello again, 68.234.126.187, of Marysville, Kansas! While that in no way represents the only IP address related to you or your internet trolling habits, I noticed you again today. I just wondered, during all the time tax payors pay you to play on the computer and peruse social media sites online while you should be working but ARE NOT; do you take time out for a lunch break? If not, here is a suggestion:
 

Of course, driving to the nearest McDonald's would take you away from trolling social media websites on company time for a substantial amount of time during the afternoon.
 

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.

Kansas City, Christians, and Kiddie Porn

Today, we have a bishop, Robert Finn, who thought it would be okay to go ahead and let priests serving under him collect and distribute kiddie porn on their computers, in the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese.  No kidding.....in fact, Finn admitted that he was told early last year by a school principal that Rev. Shawn Ratigan was doing this, but had not bothered to look at the written reports until this week. I guess getting charged with a crime and having to speak with an attorney got his attention.

This must be one of the reasons my Dad did not approve of Christian Churches. I really do not understand why people accept this crap, and why people cover up for others who are actively engaged in it. Quite frankly, I find people like this repulsive.

                                                                                                                                                                    

This is Bishop Robert Finn, looking all holy and wonderful, challenging the generally accepted notion of kiddie porn perps all being creeps with underground rooms and windowless vans, handcuffing children in tents in their backyards, the way Phillip Garrido held Jaycee Dugard captive. It's obvious that abuse of children is a much more culturally accepted norm in the midwest than I ever imagined, before I moved here. This is yet another face of child abuse, and it looks to me like it is essentially important to teach children to avoid Christian churches, the same way we teach them not to hitchhike or talk to strangers. Why wasn't the report Finn got about one of his priests abusing children important enough to read? Only the shadow knows............below is a pic of Shawn Ratigan, who abused children and downloaded kiddie porn with Finn's blessings.

Happy Monday, Terri Horman

It's Monday again, time for Terri Horman's cold case. Today, I have one that was only a blip on the great big screen of media circus stunts, but it still involves someone who thought he had gotton away with a serious crime and that he would never be caught. His name is Robert Neil Boyd. He is sixty-three years old, (sixty-two at the time he was apprehended) but he apparently likes his women young, almost prepuberescent. He also likes the internet a lot. He also likes porn.................

Mr. Boyd lived in Maryland for a long time. Understand, in Maryland, crimes against women and children are almost not crimes, unless the woman or child dies as a result. Then, in the rare event that the perpetrator is even tried and found guilty, he or she will spend about eighteen months in jail. So, in in December of 2006, when Mr. Boyd's computer presented with hundreds of images of kiddie porn, he was only charged with eight counts and was required to answer for a misdemeaner charge. The same crime is a felony almost everywhere else. Maryland works hard to protect it's kiddie porn industry.

Mr. Boyd fled Maryland while waiting to go to court. How unexpected could THAT have been? Without leaving a forwarding address with anyone but family and friends, he packed up everything and skipped off to Tennissee. Something this blogger finds truly amazing is the number of people who actually KNEW where this creep was and never once considered calling the cops. Is loyalty to a friend so very, very special that one allows children to be victimized? This really doesn't make a good statement for Neil Boyd's creepy friends.

Eventaully, in 2010, a friend of a friend heard about all of this. This person was stunned that people actually knew Boyd's whereabouts and still had not picked up the phone and turned him in. It's common knowledge that kiddie porn creeps and child molesters never change. It's also common knowledge that they never stop, unless we make them stop. So this person, upon hearing about the general area of Mr. Boyd's location, went ahead and called Maryland authorities. Maryland authorities were only cursorily interested, and brushed the phone call off. But, undaunted, the informant called authorities in Tennissee. The people in Tennissee differed from the people in Maryland in that they actually cared. They found a drivers' liscence for Mr. Boyd on file, and also found his existing charges and bench warrent in Maryland, and decided to pay Robert Neil Boyd a visit. This was Winter Solstice, 2010. Happy Holidays, Neil! They found hundreds of images this time. Hundreds. So...........it's abundantly clear that Mr. Boyd had no intention of stopping. He is also charged with one count of exploitation of a minor.

Robert Neil Boyd is in jail now. He has not been tried yet, or sentenced. He cannot get released on bail, because he has already shown that he is a flight risk, and he will go back to Maryland for trial when he is finished in Tennissee. All this happened because someone who knew about the whole thing decided to pick up the phone and make the call. My question for you, Terri Horman, is this: is there possibly someone out there, among the koolaide drinking masses, who won't just accept that you do bad stuff every now and again and shrug it off, even if it involves victimizing a child, and will make the call to solve the case? Is there more than one such someone out there? Is there someone who will read about children getting harmed by creeps and decide that this cannot go on any more? Or are YOU one of the "someone's" who should be inclined to drop a dime, knowing where Kyron is? You see, Neil Boyd thought he had gotton away with something. December of 2006...he runs. December of 2010....he gets caught. Four years; but the right person got involved in the end. He kidded himself and got cocky, even committing the crime again. He obviously was not expecting someone to hear about missing children, like Kyron Horman, and also hear about him, and decide that enough was enough. But ya know, stranger things have happened.

Please let Kyron come home.
