Reactions of Innocent People versus Guilty People

by | Jul 9, 2023 | Law Enforcement, Politics

REACTIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE versus GUILTY PEOPLE

I was in federal law enforcement for 25 years. One of the most important lessons you learn very early in your career is the following. When someone is accused of committing a crime or crimes, guilty and Innocent people react very differently. In general, their reactions are the exact opposite of how one could possibly respond to the allegations against them.

INNOCENT PEOPLE

  • When they are accused of a crime or crimes, which they did not commit, innocent people become outraged over a false allegation, and immediately deny all responsibility.
  • They fully cooperate with law enforcement as in 100%.
  • They don’t lawyer up.
  • They agree to take one or actually request a polygraph exam.
  • They voluntarily allow law enforcement to search their phone, car, and/or home for evidence.
  • They allow law enforcement to examine their bank and financial records.
  • If it’s relevant, they volunteer to provide their DNA.
  • They do this because they want a complete and thorough investigation. Why? Because they know law enforcement will not find any evidence of a crime. The investigation will instead confirm their innocence.

GUILTY PEOPLE

  • Instead of becoming outraged, offended, and immediately denying the charge or charges, they become very defensive.
  • They accuse law enforcement of planting evidence and/or framing them.
  • They try to block the investigation in every way possible.
  • They immediately lawyer up.
  • They refuse to take a polygraph.
  • They tell the police if they want to search their phone, car, or home, they must obtain a search warrant.
  • They try to hide their bank and financial records from law enforcement.
  • If DNA is requested, they refuse!
  • In other words, they react in the opposite manner of an innocent person.
  • They try to block every aspect of the investigation because they know it will eventually prove they are guilty.

When you read about Trump’s reaction to the criminal charges filed against him in NY and by the federal government, ask yourself if he responds like an innocent or guilty person. OK, you can stop LOL because the answer to that question is incredibly obvious.

The answer to the question above may be obvious to you, but millions of Trump Cult members fall for the Trump scam. What is that scam? I am not guilty of stealing hundreds of Top Secret – Classified documents, I am a victim who is being framed by a corrupt FBI, corrupt federal prosecutors, and a corrupt Justice Department, who maliciously filed numerous Felony charges against me.

Trump has convinced millions of brainwashed members of his cult that both prosecutors and the FBI are made up of left wing flaming, liberals, who are after Trump.

In the real world, the overwhelming majority of people who go into law endorsement, such as the FBI and Federal Prosecutors, are very conservative people. However, it’s very important to understand that inside the alternate reality of a cult, facts and logic play no role. The one and only thing which matters, is what Hitler tells members of his cult. Excuse me, I meant what Trump tells members of his cult. Cult behavior is identical whether the leader is Hitler or Trump.

After reading the above would you say that is the reaction of an innocent or a guilty person?

If you don’t follow or read about Trump Cult members, you will be shocked by the following. In their world, they believe every word coming from a pathological liar named Trump. Everyone in the federal government is corrupt, only Trump is a symbol of honesty and integrity. They incredibly think Trump is a victim of those two corrupt, government agencies.

Trump cult members aren’t worried about him endangering national security or being a traitor. No, they’re upset with the Justice Department for investigating and then charging him with federal crimes. In their minds, the government has no right to investigate and/or charge their Supreme Leader. How scary is that? That is pure cult behavior!

Trump told America he will also do away with the Civil Service System and replace it with a Trump Loyalty program. Trump told America he will use the Justice Department to imprison his political opponents. You expect that type of behavior in Russia, not the U.S.

That’s the prevailing view in the Trump World. If a fascist mindset like this doesn’t scare you, it should. Remember when the Republican Party was proud to call themselves the party of Law & Order?

In New York, the DA charged Trump with 34 Corporate Fraud Felony charges. What was the reaction in the Republican Party? They weren’t upset with Trump for allegedly committing those crimes, they instead demanded an investigation of the NY District Attorney.  Do you ever remember any political party going after prosecutors for investigating crimes? This is fascist insanity, but it’s the kind of behavior one expects from a cult.

In both the NY and Federal cases, Trump World has no evidence of corruption on the part of the DA or the Justice Department. Remember, in Trump World, evidence/proof is classified as Fake News, they instead believe everything they are told by the Fox Propaganda Network and everything a pathological liar tells them.

Their bogus conclusion is the following. If the New York DA and the Justice Department have the nerve to charge Trump with committing crimes, they must be corrupt. Once again, this is typical cult behavior. Remember, their Supreme Leader is never wrong, and nobody is allowed to challenge or criticize what he does or says. Cult members never use logic, facts, proof, or evidence. In addition, they have no relationship with the truth.

Sounds just like Germany in the 1930s, doesn’t it?

 

Trump: NYC Indictment

by | Apr 2, 2023 | Politics

The NY Trump Indictment

I’m writing this article on April 2nd so I have to start with a caveat, we don’t yet have all the facts. At this point in time, the indictment is sealed, so some of what I’m going to write below is speculation. My conclusions are based upon common sense, press reports, comments from former federal prosecutor and NYC D.A. Mark Pomerantz, and the fact that we know Trump is a thug and a criminal, who has no respect for the rule of law.

As we know, the press tends to focus on issues which they believe their audience is interested. How many Americans are interested in the nuances of corporate fraud law in New York? Therefore, we should not be surprised to learn that every press report focuses primarily on the Stormy Daniels hush money payments made by Trump’s attorney. They believe that will get the attention of their readers.

Right-Wing propaganda experts are trying to spin this indictment as the Stormy Daniels hush money incident, as in a case solely about a campaign financing violation. They are arguing that is not worth indicting a former president.

Hello! The Grand Jury in this case deliberated for at least 6 months! If this was primarily about hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, the Grand Jury could have made a decision about her case in 6 hours.

What does the time span tell us? It tells us this is a very complex, complicated case about felony corporate fraud law violations. That’s why this grand jury has been listening to evidence for more than 6 months. For me, that validates the press reports which indicate Trump has been charged with 30 or more counts of Corporate Fraud in NYC. It would probably take months to explain the nuances of corporate fraud laws to members of a Grand Jury.

That brings us to former D.A. Mark Pomerantz, who played a major role as a federal prosecutor in the conviction of Mafia kingpin John Gotti.

Pomerantz worked with former NYC District Attorney Vance, who retired and was replaced by Bragg. Pomerantz believed the team had overwhelming  evidence of corporate fraud, which merited filing numerous felony charges against Trump. But the newly elected district attorney, Alvin Bragg, wasn’t ready to proceed with an indictment, so Pomerantz and another senior attorney resigned. Their departures were headline news across America. Pomerantz wrote in his resignation letter that failing to bring a case of criminal fraud charges against Trump, was a grave failure of justice.

Listen to what he said about Trump and the investigation.

  • Pomerantz compares Trump to John Gotti, a mob boss who used every trick to avoid culpability and maintain one degree of deniability, while building a massive criminal enterprise.
  • Here is one example, illustrating how the Trump business operates. The Trump organization valued a Manhattan property at $527 million in one document for a bank loan. They then reported the value of that same property to the tax authorities as $16 million.
  • The above example of fraud is for only one property. Can you imagine the level of crime when all the Trump properties are accounted for?
  • Pomerantz argued there was so much evidence of financial fraud reference numerous felonies committed by Trump and his organization, that he should have been indicted 2 or 3 years ago.

Critical Point of this Article

If one believes Pomerantz, and I do, the right-wing propaganda experts have it backwards. Trump isn’t being prosecuted, as they claim, for political reasons. In reality, he actually received the benefit of a double standard in his favor, because he was Donald Trump, former President. In other words, Pomerantz argues that if it was anyone other than Trump, there is so much evidence of fraud, he would have been indicted a long time ago.

Republican Party Reaction

I thought the Republican Party took pride in being referred to as the party of Law & Order. Why does a political party, which allegedly respects Law & Order, attack the District Attorney, who enforces the law, and defends the criminal who committed numerous felonies? Members of Congress said they plan to investigate and go after the NYC District Attorney. Wow! If this was a plot in a Hollywood movie, you would probably think about walking out of the theater, because it is such a stupid movie.

Trump’s Other Major Legal Problems

I’m sure you know Trump may be indicted in Georgia for interfering with the 2020 Presidential election in that state. We don’t know for sure, but it appears as if another indictment is inevitable.

Federal Case against Trump

In my opinion, this is the big one. Trump stole hundreds of Top Secret / Classified documents and stored them in his private residence for 19 months. Who knows what he did with those documents? Did he sell them to China or Vladimir?

Please be aware of yet another double standard in favor of Trump. If a CIA employee stole hundreds of Top Secret Classified documents, they would have been arrested before the week was over. So far, nothing has happened to Trump. You get the idea, politics is protecting Trump, it is not the reason for pending indictments against him.

Unfortunately, in Trump World, many believe the FBI planted those documents in his Mara a Lago home. They also ignore the fact that Trump was given multiple opportunities to return the stolen documents, but refused to do such. If Trump would have complied with those requests, there would have been no need for an FBI raid on his private home.

So far, we’ve heard very little about the DOJ investigation, but I would be very surprised if serious charges aren’t filed. Of course, the horrible mishandling of Top Secret / Classified documents by President Biden, is seriously impacting the federal case against Trump.

RED vs. BLUE States

RED STATES versus BLUE STATES

Right-wing propaganda experts repeatedly try to portray the Blue states as failed ones, and the red states as the best ones. Of course, that Is not supported by the facts. For the most part, Blue states generally have the best jobs, the best schools, the best amenities, the best hospitals and medical care, the highest levels of income, and pay the most taxes. In other words, they are financially independent.

In sharp contrast with Blue states, many RED states have the lowest levels of education and many of them depend on the federal government for welfare.

I downloaded a list of the 20 states with the highest levels of education and the 20 states with the lowest levels of education. It’s very obvious that uneducated people, who do not engage in independent research and who watch Fox 24/7, are helpless victims of propaganda. But the people who live in the Blue states, read far more often, engage in independent research, and I’m guessing, do a lot more thinking.

The Fox Propaganda Network is incredibly popular in the RED states. In fact, it’s an addiction in those states. I’m guessing Fox isn’t as popular in the BLUE states, which generally have a much higher level of education.  It’s a lot more than just education. Fox and their viewers are always talking about the high level of crime in Blue states, but once again, they are not supported by the facts. Remember, facts and research are not part of their world. I also listed the 15 most dangerous states, per FBI statistics, most of them are RED states.

If you are interested, the safest state in America is New Jersey.

Do Your Own Research on Obamacare

by | Feb 5, 2023 | Health, Politics

Ignore Fox Propaganda, Do Your Own Research on Obamacare

Today, intelligent people are used to non-stop propaganda and lies coming out of right-wing media. The volume and nature of their lies are literally mind boggling.  Unfortunately, millions of low IQ, Fox/Trump supporters incredibly believe virtually everything they’re told. Today, Trump World is buried under so much propaganda, it’s become an alternate reality where facts, the truth, and/or proof, are totally irrelevant. However, if you will recall, this kind of propaganda and non-stop lying started to become commonplace when Obama was President. Back in 2010, when Obamacare became the law, we saw the precursor of right-wing propaganda on a mass scale.

Do you remember the lies perpetrated by right-wing media, who didn’t want Obama to receive any credit for this major bill, which transformed how healthcare is administered in America?

  • It’s a government takeover of healthcare.
  • You won’t be able to keep your doctor.
  • Death Panels!
  • Healthcare costs are rising because of Obamacare.
  • etc.

I’m sure some of you will remember the national surveys administered after the law was passed. If you recall, when asked if you approve of the “Affordable Care Act”, something like 59% of Americans were in favor of it. However, when the same exact survey went out, but instead described the law as “Obamacare”, the percentage of Americans who said they were in favor of the law, dropped to something like 47%. I think this is a good example, which illustrates how powerful propaganda can be.

During the Trump Administration, Republicans tried everything under the sun to destroy Obamacare and failed. One of the reasons they failed, despite promises from Trump every two weeks, for a fabulous new healthcare program, they literally had no alternative plan. As Trump said, I didn’t realize healthcare was so complicated.

As of early 2023, approximately 35 million Americans get their critical healthcare via Obamacare, the program Trump and the Republican Party tried to destroy. Man, this is a lifesaver for a huge number of Americans. What would they do if Obamacare didn’t exist?

I’m going to talk more about the law, but I want to pause for a brief story about a woman I met in early 2013. She was an accountant for a small company which had only 7 employees. This very small company could not afford to provide health insurance, so she was living without coverage. I asked her why she was taking such a huge chance on having her life destroyed by one unexpected, major health crisis. She told me that she wanted to get health insurance, but she couldn’t afford the exorbitant cost for one individual. I told her about Obamacare, she researched it, and several weeks later, she had a very good health insurance plan, which cost about $145 per month.

Before I get into the huge benefits of the law and how it changed healthcare in America, I want to point out that all insurance companies, such as Blue Cross and Aetna, who participate in the plan, are private companies. These companies go on the 50-state healthcare exchanges and compete with other private companies for the business of American consumers. That is the free market at its best. This is not a government takeover of healthcare.

There are other benefits from the law, but I’m going to highlight only what I believe are the big ones.

Thanks to the law,

  • You can no longer be turned down for health insurance because of pre-existing conditions. It’s estimated that 35-40% of Americans have pre-existing conditions.
  • If you’re self-employed, you can now buy quality health insurance.
  • If you lose your job, the unemployed can buy quality health insurance.
  • Women can no longer be charged more than men for their health insurance premiums.
  • Medicaid was expanded.
  • Preventive care is free to the patient.
  • Your policy can no longer be terminated because you are using up the benefits. For example, before Obamacare, if you got cancer and your treatments were very expensive, after a certain point, the insurance company could legally terminate your policy. However, under the Affordable Care Act, you cannot be denied coverage for any reason, other than your failure to pay the premiums or fraud. This is called a guarantee issue.

Wow! That is an incredible list of enhancements to how healthcare is administered in America. Remember, before Obamacare became the law, around 35-40% of Americans could be turned down because they have a pre-existing condition. Women could be charged more than men. Really? Yes!

Before the law was passed, if you got cancer and your medical costs skyrocketed, insurance companies could literally drop you. And I love the fact the preventive care is now free. That means your annual physical doesn’t cost you one penny! This component of the law should motivate millions to sign up for an annual physical, where they can discover health issues while they’re minor ones, before they become dangerous and expensive to treat.

I don’t want to imply that Obamacare is perfect. It still has several flaws which need to be corrected. But overall, it’s the best thing which happened to healthcare in our lifetime. And don’t let anyone hit you with a bogus argument about subsidies. Everyone in America, who has employee sponsored healthcare, is being subsidized by the federal government.
