The Pledge of Allegiance (& the military salute) was
the origin of Adolf Hitler's "Nazi" salute under the National Socialist
German Workers Party (Nazis). http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html
Francis Bellamy
& Edward Bellamy touted National Socialism and the police state in
the USA decades before their dogma was exported to Germany. They influenced
the NSDAP, its dogma, symbols and rituals. http://rexcurry.net/police-state.html
The swastika, although an ancient symbol,
was also used to represent crossed "S" letters for "socialism" under
the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis), similar to the alphabetical
symbolism for the SS Division, the SA, the NSV, and the VW logo (the
letters "V" and "W" joined for "Volkswagen"). http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a1.html
Uh, Daniel Ruth and Elaine Silvestrini?
Start Packing Your Bags !!
The first true news source
to announce the layoff of Daniel Ruth, other layoffs and the
deteriorating format of the Tampa Tribune newspaper
was RexCurry.net. The paper, part of the merged Tribune/WFLA-Ch.
8/ TBO.com, has already gone through several
rounds of job reductions.
Executive Editor Janet
Coats communicated with urgency: “... I’m worried that
if we don’t change how we think about this further it won’t
matter what falls through the cracks because we’ll have no readers.”
Partial blame for the Tribune's
decline goes to two writers: Daniel Ruth and Elaine
Silvestrini. The mess follows mere weeks after
"Daniel Ruth LaRouche" and "Elaine Silvestrini Mussolini"
were exposed in public debate challenges. That coincides
with the time when the newspaper said to the kook: "Uh, Daniel Ruth? Start
packing your bags!" http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-elaine-silvestrini.jpg
Silvestrini and Ruth are part of a widespread problem
at the newspaper: ignorant writing and hate-mongering. Earlier
Layoffs at the Tribune followed shortly after a previous
defeat of Ruth by Dr. Rex Curry (See any internet
search for "Tampa Tribune lays off"). http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html
After
Ruth's previous loss the response against the crack-pot
from the general public was so great that Ruth
said he was labeled a "Dork, anti-free market statist,
$#%!&, Dummkopf, liberal, daffy, dolt, stupid,
dunce and, oh by the way, socialist."
On another occasion, Ruth admitted
publicly that locals have labeled him "bigot, prejudiced,
hateful and ignorant" among many other similar insults.
Elaine Silvestrini also acknowledged publicly
her error regarding Dr. Curry (although she did not apologize,
of course).
The ackowledgement of errors by Ruth and Silvestrini were too
late, as the Tribune continued its tailspin down the
toilet. Ruth and Silvestrini are causing spectators
to wager on when the Tribune will be out of business.
http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-tampa-tribune.html
Silvestrini and Ruth are news repeaters. The term "repeaters"
and "reporters" is synonymous, although "repeaters" explains more about
radio, TV and print news people like Silvestrini and Ruth: they repeat
claptrap that is spouted by government and government officials. They
repeat it as if it is serious, rational and important. That is what
happens to "news" media in a police state. They repeat the national
socialist dogma of their newspapers ("national socialist" is what "nazis"
called themselves, and it is necessary to point that out in case the newspaper's
readers (both of them) read this because that fact rarely, if ever, appears
in the rag).
The Tribune is collapsing under the internet
and under Dr. Curry's internet work (taking top
spots on the web for exposing Silvestrini, Ruth and the
Tribune). Silvestrini and Ruth are learning the hard way
why the Tribune is losing under the web. A google search
for Elaine Silvestrini shows that top spots are the RexCurry.net
page (and others) exposing her. A google image search
for Elaine Silvestrini shows similar results. Similar resullts
show in searches for Daniel Ruth. Videos expose them in the
top spots in searches on Youtube.com for Elaine Silvestrini,
Daniel Ruth, and Tampa Tribune. For years, RexCurry.net
has been a top spot in a google search for Daniel Ruth, after Ruth's
previous humiliating defeat, and that explains why Daniel
the near-sighted loopy leperchaun [sic] remains bitter, thin-skinned
and sour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4
That is why Dr. Rex Curry makes important discoveries that enlighten
the world forever, while Elaine Silvestrini and Daniel Ruth overlook important
discoveries (that they could have made) during lives of name-calling,
hate-mongering and bad writing.
Silvestrini,
Ruth and the Tampa Tribune promote
flag fanaticism. They promote fanaticism by covering
up the history of the Pledge of Allegiance.
In an article printed in the recent past, Silvestrini
mentioned both flag fanaticism and swastika fanaticism.
http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html
Recently, Silvestrini and Ruth
were schooled by RexCurry.net about the
Pledge of Allegiance's past. Flag fanaticists Silvestrini
and Ruth had been what is known as "pledge virgins" until
they were rexed up one side and down the other. They were
so ignorant that they did not know that the Pledge was the
origin of the German National Socialist salute. Heck, they
were so ignorant that they did not know that the early Pledge
used a stiff-armed salute. They did not know that the stiff-arm
salute developed from the military salute. They were so
stupid that they did not even know the etymology of the term
"Nazi." They did not know that German National Socialists did
not call themselves "Nazis." They did not know that members of the
NSDAP referred to themselves as "socialists"; They were so stupid that
they did not know that the N-word is not in "Mein Kampf" nor in
the film "Triumph of the Will" (as two examples), yet the word
"socialist" is there in stereotypically droning socialist fashion.
They did not know (until schooled by RexCurry.net) that German
National Socialists did not call their flag symbol a "swastika"
(they called it a Hakenkreuz,"hooked cross"). They did not know
that German National Socialists sometimes used their cross symbol
to represent crossed S-letters for their "socialism."
http://rexcurry.net/pledging-allegiance-photographs.html
Their employer, the
Tampa Tribune, is a so-called
newspaper that has never published a
historical photograph of the Pledge's early
stiff-arm salute, nor explained the Pledge's relationship
to the National Socialist German Workers
Party, its dogma, its salute, its symbols and its rituals.
Silvestrini and Ruth have also never informed their
readers about new discoveries concerning the
Pledge's past. http://rexcurry.net/silvestrini-elaine-tampa-tribune.jpg
If there has ever been an article
about Francis Bellamy (author of
the Pledge of Allegiance) in the Tampa Tribune
newspaper it repeated the usual shallow
propaganda common to most "news" outlets. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html
In that
way, the Tampa Tribune perpetuates flag
fanaticism by repeating tired cliches through reporters
such as Silvestrini and Ruth. They keep their
readers ignorant. A youtube.com video reveals more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4
Silvestrini's and Ruth's writing
is similar to robotic chanting in worship
of the state. They pledge allegiance to growing government and
attack anyone who does not join them. Their writing is robotic
repetition of cliches taught by the government and
learned in government schools (socialist schools).
Ruth and Silvestrini share a style of writing that is
common in modern journalism: They mislead in order to cover
up the important issues. They believe that the purpose of
government is to provide service, and the purpose of the media
is to provide vaseline. http://rexcurry.net/saying-the-pledge-of-allegiance-pictures.html
Think of the Tampa Tribune
as a torture and terrorism conspiracy (as
its readers think of it; both of them). That
makes Elaine Silvestrini a co-conspirator with
unreadable Ruth. After Ruth's previous loss to
Dr. Curry, the response against Ruth from the general
public was so great that Ruth said he was labeled a
"Dork, anti-free market statist, $#%&!, Dummkopf,
liberal, daffy, dolt, stupid, dunce and, oh by the
way, socialist." http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html
Ruth's use of "socialist"
is telling in that Ruth covers up for the National
Socialist German Workers Party and its deadly
dogma. The neo-nationalist Ruth has probably
never written the actual name of the group "National
Socialist German Workers Party" in the Tribune (check
it yourself). Instead he uses his favorite hackneyed misleading
shorthand for the group.
On the Tribune's fascistic flag fanaticism, Ruth
and Silvestrini have been influenced by America's
most notorious National Socialists, Francis Bellamy
and Edward Bellamy. Ruth's economic ignorance equals
or exceeds Edward Bellamy's. Silvestrini and
Ruth add to the public perception of their profession as
"news nazis."
The two Tribune toadies Silvestrini and
Ruth knowingly work for a newspaper that deliberately
fails to deliver parts of the newspaper to some readers in
what amounts to profiling or "red-lining" certain "areas"
populated by certain kinds of people. Do those readers realize
that for their money they are not receiving the same quantity/quality
of newspaper that the Tribune delivers to its preferred customers?
In the latest round of job reductions,
the Tribune booted popular columnist Joe Brown.
Ruth LaRouche has admitted publicly
that readers have labeled him "bigot, prejudiced, hateful
and ignorant" among many other similar insults.
Ruth and Silvestrini are evasive about the Bellamys
and their bigotry, xenophobia, militarism,
robotic chanting for children, and authoritarian socialism
(and their influence upon German National Socialism,
its dogma, symbols and rituals). Bellamy dogma led to
segregation imposed by law, and racism taught as official
policy. The Bellamys believed that immigrants would dilute cultural
unity in the United States. And what about the zealotry, indoctrination,
propaganda and fanaticism? The Ruth/Silvestrini silence becomes
deafening about the related hate-mongering, persecution,
sadism, jingoism, violence, and even lynchings inspired
by the Bellamys and their socialist religion. Silvestrini
and Ruth are a tour-de-force of indifference.
They have nothing to say about the socialist Wholecaust (of
which the Holocaust was a part): ~60 million slaughtered
under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 50
million slaughtered under the Peoples' Republic of China;
~20 million slaughtered under the National socialist German
Workers Party. It was the same dogma touted by the Bellamys.
It becomes scarier in that Ruth refers to himself
as "The Book of Ruth."
Has the mystery of Ruth's hybrid toupee / combover question been solved?
(Ruth once told a critic that Ruth
would let the critic find out if Ruth has a
hybrid toupee/combover if the critic paid Ruth $5000
-Ruth knew that if the price was high then the critic
would pass on Ruth's toupee/combover question).
See the startling photographic evidence at http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-lyndon-larouche.jpg
Ruth writes flippantly about torture.
LaRouche La Ruth's insane clown posse act
is like something out of "Apocalypse Now" meets
"A Clockwork Orange."
Perhaps
the fascistic fanaticist (Ruth) is merely a LaRouche
Democrat (LaRouche always ran in the Democratic
Party). Is Ruth a DINO (democrat in name only)?
And what about Elaine "Mussolini" Silvestrini? Many
people forget that the Italian cohort of German National
Socialism gained power as a socialist "journalist"
among socialists and socialist newpapers in Italy. Silvestrini
Mussolini is a scary reminder.
Would Ruth and Silvestrini like to "restore the Pledge"
to preserve its historic heritage: Its earlier
stiff-arm salute gesture to the fasciate flag?
Mussolini
Silvestrini and LaRouche La Ruth did not know (until
schooled by RexCurry.net) that German National Socialists
did not call their flag symbol a "swastika," (they called
it a Hakenkreuz, or "hooked cross") and they sometimes
used the symbol to represent overlapping S-letters for
their "socialism."
It would not be surprising
to discover that Silvestrini and Ruth drive Volkswagens.
RexCurry.net exposed the use of
the swastika as S-symbolism for words and names that begin
with the "S" letter (e.g. "Silvestrini" and "Socialism").
Silvestrini was probably fascinated to learn that some German
National Socialists signed their names using swastika-style
symbolism. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hanfstaengl.html http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a4.html
Silvestrini and Ruth attack people
who do not slavishly submit to the enormous federal government,
as they do. If the antidisestablishmentarianism does not
end, then the USA's police state will worsen. Everyone must oppose
the modern version of national socialism at the Tampa Tribune.
For many years, the
near-sighted Tribune toady (Ruth) has flittered
about the fringes of political life in the
Tampa Bay area with his nazi-style name-calling.
Ruth, a
Dominick Dunne wannabe, is the Rump-hole of the Insanely.
Ruth's self-defecating remarks are asinine. Ruth's
flatulence worsens whenever Ruth rubs his brain cells
together. Both of them.
The Tribune is also a torture conspiracy for the victims/survivors of
crimes. If victims re-live crime trauma in multiple trials then they can
blame Ruth and Silvestrini and people who think as they do. Sadistic Silvestrini
and Ruth stupidly hail the ballooning
federal government and for victims of gruesome
crimes to endure multiple trials that are costly
and time-consuming.
They are morbid news nazis in a clockwork orange.
If it were up to Ruth, Silvestrini and their BDSM
ilk then the federal and state government would take turns
re-trying the same "newsy" cases annually so that Ruth
and Silvestrini would have something about which to babble.
Ruth and Silvestrini are 2 girls and 1 cup journalism.
It is no wonder that columns by Silvestrini and Ruth never state any qualifications
they have to write
articles about legal topics (or any topics).
Only their phone numbers and email addresses
were given with no biographical or background
information (nor any link to such information).
Compared to Dr. Curry's illustrious career, Silvestrini's
name is longer than her career highlights. There
is a complete lack of disclosure of whether Silvestrini
or Ruth have any licensing or educational achievement
that qualifies either to write on such a topic, how
they were selected, nor how much they were paid to write
(It might embarrass them if the Tampa Tribune printed what
they were paid. They are no where near being paid $100 per hour).
They learned to write in government schools on Planet Zircon 9.
Silvestrini is the Touch-hole of the Insanely. Many readers do not
know that Ruth is a wiener of the pull-it surprise. Silvestrini helped
him. (That is a coveted achievement among "jurinalists"). http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-lyndon-larouche.jpg
Dr. Curry's illustrious career
has recently acquired two additional achievements: aiding in the
firing of Daniel Ruth, and exposing and defeating Ruth and Silvestrini
in public.
As a career move, Silvestrini and Ruth should not become lawyers. Their
"journalism" might cause some people
to wonder if they are competent
even to write about legal issues, or to write
at all about anything. If they are considering
a job change then here is a Memo to Silvestrini and Ruth:
Don't start packing your bags.
Silvestrini and Ruth remain
unable or unwilling to state the simple
issue: The Pledge of Allegiance (and its author)
was the origin of the salute of the National
Socialist German Workers Party and influenced
its symbols and rituals. They are deniers and
historical revisionists. They play blind to its
effect on the enormous growth of government today. http://rexcurry.net/USA-pledge-of-allegiance-rexcurrydotnet.jpg
Are Tribune writers dense or does intellectual
dishonesty and a lack of integrity
make them unwilling to provide simple accurate
reporting? That is why the Tribune is known as Helloooooo Sucker
News and as the Wanna Buy A Duck? newspaper.
On the other hand, Elaine Silvestrini
has strange tastes in what she does
write about. In a recent article, Silvestrini's
interests were drawn to "adults only"
web pages about swastika and flag fetishism
and she was attracted to a body-building picture
of Arnold Schwarzenegger and a picture of an American flag with
swastikas in place of stars. On 7-3-07, Silvestrini wrote
about a man who sells virtual sex toys, including
characters on screen that can be animated into a variety
of sexual positions (she seems to have researched that one
thoroughly); Silvestrini has written repeatedly
about what Silvestrini calls a "high-profile drug, sex
and torture case."
Silvestrini and Ruth have paid a lot of attention
to Max Hardcore and his sadistic pornography
(and LaRuth makes childish jokes about it, of course).
It is a reminder of the old adage:
"To a socialist/statist there is no bigger
phallic symbol than a flag pole."
If you read newspapers
for years then you will see all manner
of ditzoid craziness that slops its way over
the journalistic gunwales -claims of UFO abductions,
the conspiracy theorists, Nazi cabals, and people
who believe monkeys are taking over the world.
And those are just
some of the serious news stories. There
are some newspaper writers, too, who are really
weird. Take Silvestrini and Ruth. Please, take them.
For all the black helicopter
sightings and strange arguments that
Shecky Green and the Jewish lobby control the
government and Y2K means the end of the world,
Silvestrini Mussolini and LaRouche La Ruth are the
most twistedly evasive.
The Felliniesque Fidel
Castros never addressed any of the original
issues. For example, why is the federal
government growing so large, taking over
criminal law nationwide, and becoming involved
in what in the past would have been state level
cases? Silvestrini - a "newspaper" writer
- weighed in with one long sputtering bluster against
historical reality. Loony Ruth did his mental blank-out.
The Karl Marxs of the Twilight Zone responded with a bunch
of journalistic babble.
Silvestrini and Ruth
are the most visible local disciples of
the Tampa Tribune, which ought to have
their embarrassed fellow travelers donning Groucho
Marx disguises around the office and about town.
They probably prefer a Charlie Chaplin disquise (because
of the moustache).
Recently when Silvestrini
wrote again about "high-profile
drugs, sex and torture," Silvestrini mentioned
Dr. Curry, and his appellate work
as an attorney for a defendant in whom Silvestrini
has taken an ongoing interest. Silvestrini
wrote about two critics of Curry's work and
then she quoted Curry's response, "You can write
that I have challenged them to a public debate
of their claims and that the next step is to select
a time and place for doing so, if they think they are up
to it." http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html
Silvestrini's quote was a public
debate challenge by Dr. Curry to Charles
Rose, a professor at Stetson Law School,
and the dare was printed in the Tampa Tribune
Newspaper in September 2008. A law school would
be an ideal place for an educational debate
and it would be easy for Charles Rose
to rise up to the challenge. As expected,
Charles Rose apparently did not think he was
up to it as Charles Rose has not selected a time
or place in response to Dr. Curry's public debate
challenge.
Similar
public debate challenges were made to Silvestrini
and Ruth.
Even after Elaine Silvestrini drafted
the debate challenge to Charles Rose
in the newspaper, there was no response
from Rose that Silvestrini printed in
the article.
It
remains another media debate challenge victory
for Dr. Curry over Rose, Ruth and Silvestrini.
It is
telling to note that a google search reveals
a web page on the Stetson Law School
web site where Charles Rose (or someone for
him) keeps a running list of the relationship
between Silvestrini and Rose by synopsizing
articles where Silvestrini repeatedly
uses Rose. The Stetson web page lists the article
in which Silvestrini referenced Dr. Curry, however
the Stetson web lists covers-up Dr. Curry's public
debate challenge to Rose. Did Rose cover-up the debate
challenge or did someone do it for him?
Silvestrini failed to discuss
nor even enumerate the six or more
issues in Dr. Curry's legal brief argued
on behalf of the defendant in the
federal appellate hearing. Silvestrini has the
ability to let her audience decide for themselves
because Silvestrini could post Dr. Curry's
brief on the web site of the Tampa Tribune
or TBO.com, but Silvestrini did not do so and
will not do so because the brief would expose
her inane comments, omissions and cover-ups. Readers
are misled and kept ignorant.
Silvestrini's method of
using of Rose's comments is especially odd
considering that Silvestrini was too stupid
to realize that similar appellate issues
were argued in six issues raised by another
attorney in a related case involving Scott
Schweickert, charged as a co-conspirator.
One of the issues raised
in both briefs was "insufficiency of
the evidence" which is probably the most
common issue argued in appeals of criminal
cases.
Did Silvestrini through
her writing make it appear that Rose was
unable to recognize any meritorious arguments
in the six or more issues raised on
behalf of the defendant in the brief?
Did Silvestrini distort Rose's comments
in an attempt to make it appear that no issue in
the legal brief was understood? Did she
only tell Rose about one issue? If so, then Silvestrini
owes Charles Rose a public apology.
Did Silvestrini withhold
from Rose a copy of a similar brief
filed by the co-conspirator, and not inform
Rose of the other brief? If so, then Silvestrini
owes Charles Rose a public apology.
It would be unusual for
any lawyer or law professor to waive
/ abandon all the issues for both defendants.
If such a thing occurred it would be called
an "Anders brief" for both defendants (in
an Anders brief a defense attorney openly states
that he believes there are no meritorious
issues to argue for a defendant).
Ineffective assistance of counsel
is shown primarily by waiving and
abandoning issues. Not by having an
extra issue that is not victorious. Most appeals
are unsuccessful, meaning that all arguments
made in most cases are rejected by the appellate
court.
Silvestrini's remarks
are a reminder of the cliche' "If you
can't do, and you can't teach, then
write."
Here is other information
that was provided to Elaine Silvestrini
and that she omitted from her article:
The issues raised in Dr. Curry's brief
are not uncommon and similar to most of the
issues raised in other briefs, such as
that of the alleged co-conspirator (for example,
insufficiency of the evidence). Some of the
issues were also raised in articles in Silvestrini's
newspaper (the Tampa Tribune) about the case
and are also supported by comments made by
some judges, jurors and other observers concerning
the charges, the trial and the sentence (and some
of that is in the brief). The issues are also supported
by other people such as the former prosecutor Vincent
Bugliosi (author of the book "The Prosecution of President
George W. Bush for Murder"). It is also consistent
with what has been the law historically in the U.S.A.
Some of the issues have also met with
some success in United States v.
Stewart 348 F.3d 1132 (9th Cir. 2003) an opinion
by Judge Alex Kozinski (who
spoke in Tampa to the Federal Bar
Association during the same month that
Silvestrini penned her claptrap). The Stewart case
is available at various locations on
the web including http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/348/348.F3d.1132.02-10318.html
Similar arguments were made unsuccessfully
in Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1
(2005) (the medical marijuana case cited in
the government's brief and in Dr. Curry's
brief). United States v. Stewart
is a case involving a challenge to the constitutionality
of 18 U.S.C. § 922o under the Commerce
Clause of the United States Constitution.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit ruled that mere possession of homemade machine
guns can not be constitutionally regulated by
the United States Congress under the Commerce Clause.
Upon granting certiorari, the Supreme Court of
the United States vacated the Ninth Circuit's ruling
and remanded the case back to the court for further
consideration in light of its ruling in Gonzales v.
Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005) where a new decision was issued
in Stewart. see http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/coa/newopinions.nsf/315E1DE83BC0D4258825719D005C71F8/$file/0210318.pdf?openelement
Silvestrini's inability to undertand
the jurisdictional argument on
appeal (that the federal government lacked
jurisdiction in the case) is bizarre in light
of her May 1, 2007 article in the Tampa Tribune
in which she wrote that Judge Merryday "...said
the federal government is 'not situated to
prosecute the real offense, which prosecution
is situated in the state of Florida.' "
Silvestrini also wrote, regarding Curry's client: "In sentencing [the defendant]
last year, U.S. District Judge
Richard Lazzara said that if he were a circuit
judge [state level] and the prosecution had brought
capital murder charges, the government would have
no trouble establishing the presence of four aggravating
factors - facets of the case legally required for
a death sentence "
Silvestrini shows her denseness by repeatedly phoning (more than five years
and counting?) the state prosecutor's
office to ask when the state will begin
a trial in the matter. Each time, Silvestrini
writes that state action will be announced
"soon." Perhaps Silvestrini thinks the state needs
to hurry before the defendant's 200 years in
federal prison is up. Perhaps Silvestrini secretly
believes that Dr. Curry's legal arguments will prevail
and that the defendant will be released soon. Her blockheaded
phone calls have probably provided the state-level
prosecutor's office with comic relief.
Silvestrini misquoted Dr. Curry in Silvestrini's article when she wrote
that
Dr. Curry "said in an e-mail exchange that
he plans in his argument to the court
to quote from the book 'The Prosecution of
President George W. Bush for Murder' by the former
prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi." The email shows
that Silvestrini's comment is incorrect and that
Dr. Curry was wise to restrict Silvestrini to written
communication. Even when a Tampa Tribune reporter
like Silvestrini is restricted to written communication,
she still can't get the quote correct. Even
when Silvestrini could literally cut-and-paste
the quote from email, she still blows it.
Silvestrini had plenty of potential quotes in Dr. Curry's generous written
interview
yet, as is classic bad journalism, she
very selectively (misleadingly)
gave her readers only two short quotes, and she
misquoted one of those. That is a letter grade of
"F" with a failing 50% rating equivalent to flipping
a coin.
Silvestrini is guilty of ineffective assistance of reporting.
At a recent appellate hearing, Silvestrini was too unprofessional to even
attempt
to speak to Dr. Curry in person.
In a hilarious turn of events at the end of the appellate court hearing
on the
case that Silvestrini was covering, the
appellate court was informed that
Silvestrini had misquoted Dr. Curry. The Judges
seemed baffled about Silvestrini's behavior.
It was clear that none of the Judges were
aware of Silvestrini's article about the case. One
Judge openly stated that the Tampa Tribune was not
a newspaper read by the Judge, a remark that brought
chuckles of agreement from the courtroom. Dr.
Curry told the judge that he also does not read the Tampa
Tribune, and the audience's response increased.
The only person who did not laugh was probably Silvestrini.
And, of course, Silvestrini's readers did not receive the story because
Silvestrini
deliberately omitted it from the article
she wrote. Instead, Silvestrini wrote
an article about the appellate hearing that was
deliberately misleading in regard to what transpired
concerning her misquotation. Silvestrini
did not tell the whole truth.
In the same article, Silvestrini publicly admitted, in a sheepish manner,
that she
had misquoted Dr. Curry. And by "sheepish"
is meant that she continued to be
unforthright in her statements. Silvestrini
did not attempt to speak to Dr. Curry regarding
Silvestrini's later article, despite Silvestrini's
strange efforts to speak to Curry for Silvestrini's
earlier article. After the hearing, She did
not attempt to speak to Dr. Curry in person or communicate
in any way. Since the time she misquoted Dr. Curry
she has not communicated, not even attempting to
do so by email.
When the federal jurisdiction issue was addressed at the appellate hearing,
none of
the judges displayed the bizarre ignorance
of the topic that had been demonstrated
by Silvestrini in her article.
Nevertheless, the media debate challenge that was issued by Dr. Rex Curry
as quoted by Silvestrini, is also available
to Silvestrini......if she thinks
that she is up to it.
Apparently, Silvestrini does not think
she is up to it as she has not selected
a time or place in response to the public
debate challenge. The only person Silvestrini
is fooling is herself. It is another media
debate challenge victory for Dr. Curry over
Elaine Silvestrini and the Tampa Tribune newspaper.
It is
no wonder why old-style "newspapers" such
as Silvestrini's are dying out as people
turn to the internet for more accurate information.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html
Every
landmark decision by a federal appellate
court or the Supreme Court
(e.g. Miranda, or the recent case finding
the sentencing guidelines unconstititional)
is a "landmark" case because it was unanticipated
by most people, including the people
to whom Elaine Silvestrini talked.
Silvestrini
feigns ignorance about the topic
of articles that she writes. Although
she refused to include it in her article, Silvestrini
was aware of Dr. Curry's famous drug-dog
case resulting in the suppression of evidence.
The government unsuccessfully tried to
appeal all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The U.S. Supreme Court denied the government's

The government also
unsuccessfully appealed to Florida's
Supreme Court to overturn
the victory. Also see the Second District

Silvestrini
deliberately leaves pertinent information
out of her articles to make her
articles misleading. Although she refused to
include it in her article, Silvestrini was aware
of another case in which a prosecutor wanted
Dr. Curry to abandon an issue and withdraw
a motion to suppress evidence. Instead, Curry's
motion was granted and the government dismissed
the charges against Curry's client as well as
two other defendants. http://rexcurry.net/law-drugs-suppress.pdf
People
who are similar to the ones to whom Silvestrini
spoke were completely discouraging
about Curry's drug-dog case at the trial
level and then wondered why Curry bothered
to initiate the appeal. Later, the
same people all expressed amazement at Curry's
victory and cited his case.
All
"landmark" cases are cases that seemed
pointless until the unexpected happened.
How would the Supreme Court ever reverse
itself (and it has done so) if no
one ever bothered to try and keep raising
issues upon which the Supreme Court has
already ruled?
Even President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's
court packing scam was unexpected
as was the Supreme Court's "switch in time
that saved nine" (also known as the "switch
in time that socialized nine") that drastically
changed the course of the federal courts.
It sounds as if some of the people
to whom Silvestrini talked are people
who don't try. The type of people that Silvestrini
likes are people who are ineffective and
unable to do anything but give up in Court and
bend over for the government/prosecution.
It sounds as if they are saying that they
would provide their client with ineffective
assistance by deliberately NOT raising issues
on appeal because they don't want to "distract" from
other arguments. That is a complete waiver
/ abandonment of the issues they do not raise. They
pretend to read the minds of judges and to discern how
much judicial distraction might occur. They think appellate
judges are dopes who will be completely distracted
by one argument and ignore all other arguments. Their point
is absurd. It is wild speculation.
There are
many REAL examples of ineffective assistance
from people who DID abandon issues, using
the reasoning in Silvestrini's article.
The opposite can also occur with a
good lawyer: Give the judges a unique
issue so that they think that the brief is
interesting and they want to have oral
arguments, unlike the thousand boring briefs
that all sound the same that are filed by
the people such as those to whom Silvestrini
talked, and that aren't set for oral arguments.
Dr. Curry's appellate brief was set
for oral argument by the appellate
court.
ELAINE SILVESTRINI & DANIEL
RUTH: 2 GIRLS, 1 CUP JOURNALISM
Case update: The Eleventh Circuit
Court of Appeals humiliated Elaine Silvestrini
when it issued its opinion in the case and specifically
referenced the Interstate Commerce Clause
argument. The Court noted that its hands were tied
because it is "foreclosed by precedent." That means
that even if the Court wants to rule otherwise, it
can't due to bad precedent.
Silvestrini sent another email asking
for a comment on the Court's decision.
Due to Silvestrini's poor memory, she was reminded
that her question had already been answered in an earlier
email response that had been sent to Silvestrini before
oral argument on the case: "The case will probably be
heading for the United States Supreme Court on the same
arguments." The earlier email responses to Silvestrini included
the very point mentioned in the Court's decision with
discussion of the bad precedent problem and how it is overturned,
all of which Silvestrini deliberately ignored in order
to mis-inform readers of the Tampa Tribune.
The Eleventh Circuit's decision is
a moral victory for Dr. Rex Curry and
his client along with the fact that in that it took
the Court over a week to issue the opinion after
the Court gave the matter "careful consideration"
(that is a quote from the Court's decision).
After the Court's decision was released,
Silvestrini probably made another one
of her repetitive and comic calls to state prosecutor's
office to inquire if and when they might bring
charges in the same case.
*************************
Before
4:20 p.m. on 9-4-08, Elaine Silvestrini
placed a call to Dr. Rex Curry and
she left a vague message on voicemail asking
to talk to him. Because of the vagueness
of the message and because Silvestrini works
for the Tampa Tribune, and Dr. Curry is familiar
with her writing, and she has an ongoing interest
in one of Dr. Curry's clients, Dr. Curry responded
in writing by email to Silvestrini in order to create
a written record of what transpired.
In
response, Silvestrini sent an email to
Dr. Curry on 9-4-2008 at 4:20 p.m. that
began "I wanted to talk to you...." and
used that phrase twice in the email. It was clear that
she did not want to make a written record of
what she wanted to say, nor what the responses
would be. Dr. Curry took the sensible path and
continued to respond in writing throughout the
disturbing repetitive communications.
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-4-2008 at
5:07 p.m. that included the sentence
"I really would like to talk."
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-5-2008 at
8:26 a.m.
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-5-2008 at
2:00 p.m. that included the sentence
"I really would like to talk to you."
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-5-2008 at
3:02 p.m.
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-5-2008 at
4:10 p.m. That email included her statement
that she wanted to talk about "adults only"
web pages.
Silvestrini
became childishly angry when Dr.
Curry spurned her overtures "to talk."
Dr. Curry wanted to communicate in
writing to make a record of what Silvestrini
was doing. She did not want to create
a record (she did not want to communicate by email).
It was only after Silvestrini's behavior was publicly exposed that she
stopped.
Silvestrini misquoted Dr. Curry in Silvestrini's article when she wrote
that Dr. Curry "said in an e-mail exchange
that he plans in his argument
to the court to quote from the book 'The Prosecution
of President George W. Bush for Murder'
by the former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi." The
email shows that Silvestrini's comment is incorrect
and that Dr. Curry was wise to restrict Silvestrini
to written communication. Even when a Tampa Tribune
reporter like Silvestrini is restricted to
written communication, she still can't get the
quote correct. Even when Silvestrini could literally
cut-and-paste the quote from email, she still
blows it.
Silvestrini had plenty of potential quotes in Dr. Curry's generous written
interview
yet, as is classic bad journalism, she
very selectively (misleadingly)
gave her readers only two short quotes, and she
misquoted one of those. That is a letter grade of
"F" with a failing 50% rating equivalent to flipping
a coin. Silvestrini later admitted her "error"
in public in a later article in the newspaper. She kinda
sorta had to admit the error because it was all done by email.
Does anyone think she would recollect it that way if
it had been by "talking"?
************************
Silvestrini is so out-of-touch with reality (and so defective as a "reporter")
that she does
not realize there ARE lawyers who carry
guns into courthouses, as well as
many other people who do. (P.S.
please don't help her wise up, as she will
want to disarm all of them).
The Tampa Tribune (and other local papers
or incarnations) has been covering up for
the pledge and flag fetishism for almost a century.

DANIEL RUTH and LYNDON LAROUCHE
Daniel Ruth and Lyndon LaRouche.
Is Daniel "LaRouche La Ruth" the person known
as Lyndon LaRouche? Has anyone ever seen these two together?
The mystery of Ruth's hybrid toupee / combover question
is solved? See http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-lyndon-larouche.jpg
Secret swastika flag of news nazis at
the Tampa Tribune Newspaper?
Elaine Silvestrini
Mussolini and Daniel Ruth LaRouche did not know (until
schooled by RexCurry.net) that German National Socialists
did not call their German flag symbol a "swastika," (they
called it a Hakenkreuz, or "hooked cross") and they sometimes
used the symbol to represent crossed S-letters for their
"socialism." http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html#Secret
The "Pledge of Allegiance"
(to the U.S. Flag) and the early American stiff-arm
salute originated in 1892 from the notorious national
socialist Francis Bellamy. Daily publication of the Tampa
Tribune (hereinafter "TT") newspaper started in 1895 when
Wallace Stovall upgraded printing from once a week.
The word "Tribune"
is etymologically related to the Roman/Latin word
for an officer of a legion. It is also related to the word
"tribe" and the tribe mentality promoted in the national
socialist propaganda of Dan Ruth LaRouche, Elaine Silvestrini
Mussolini and the TT newspaper. http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-benito-mussolini.jpg
Above (or see
the links) is a historic photo of the secret flag for
news nazis (e.g. Daniel Ruth LaRouche) and other flag fetishists
at the Tampa Tribune (TT) with its own swastika-style
symbol that uses a cross of T-letters as alphabetical symbolism
for "Tampa Tribune" (a variation of the teutonic cross altered
for use as a tetragram). http://rexcurry.net/tampa-tribune-swastika-flag.jpg
and http://rexcurry.net/tampa-tribune-swastika-tetragrammaton.jpg
The following is a drawing of the
Tampa Tribune newspaper boat with its swastika-style flag
at the Gasparilla pirate festival. The scale is actual size. http://rexcurry.net/aa5b.jpg
The news nazi flag is an imitation
of the swastika flag and its alphabetical symbolism
under German National Socialism. Although the swastika was
an ancient symbol, German National Socialists sometimes used
the symbol (which they called a "hooked cross") to represent crossed
S-letters for their "socialism."
The unreadable Ruth
LaRouche is notorious for his nazi-style name-calling.
Ruth LaRouche has admitted publicly
that readers have labeled him, among other things, "bigot,
prejudiced, hateful and ignorant."
On another occasion, the response against Ruth
from the general public was so great that Ruth
said he was labeled a "Dork, anti-free market statist
$#%!&, Dummkopf, liberal, daffy, dolt, stupid, dunce
and, oh by the way, socialist." (That's National Socialist).
Loudspeakers are also
used for the secret News Nazi Pledge of Allegiance.
The News Nazi Pledge expands upon the bizarre perversity
of Bellamy's Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. There is another
important difference: the early American stiff-arm gesture
has not been changed in the News Nazi Pledge (for Bellamy's
Pledge the gesture began to change in 1942 after the United States
entered WWII and well after the beginning of WWII).
Francis Bellamy
lived in Tampa from 1924 to 1931. The Tribune printed
the following articles upon Bellamy's demise: "Author
of Flag Pledge Dies at His Home Here" (August 29, 1931)
and "His Words Will Live Forever" (September 1, 1931).
It is important
to remember that during the time of the infamous
influence of American national socialists (e.g. Francis
Bellamy and Edward Bellamy) the National Socialist German
Workers’ Party was formed (in 1920), with electoral
breakthroughs in 1930, and dictatorship in 1933. German
National Socialists adopted the stiff-arm salute that had
been used in the U.S. for about three decades (from 1892), along
with robotic chanting to flags, and persecution of anyone who thought
it was disturbing "tribe mentality" behavior.
Another Tampa Tribune / St. Pete Times symbol shows the Tampa
Tribune's T-cross combined with the St. Petersburg Times' S-cross, the
hooked-cross swastika. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-tampa-tribune.jpg
Dark T-letters form the S-letters of the lighter swastika (at the interior)
and encircle it. It symbolizes how the two have the same deadly dogma
of socialism, similar to that under the National Socialist German Workers
Party. http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html

Great job Rex – go get them! FYI,
the Tampa Tribune’s Elaine Silvestrini
is close to the Feds, the Federal
prosecutor and FBI in particular. Indeed,
the frequency with which her name appears
on the Tribune’s local federal law enforcement
related stories suggest that the Fed “law
dogs” are her primary assignment – and of course,
she has to feed her “pups”. Her ad hominem attack
is an unprofessional - albeit typical - smear
attempt. By speaking truth to power, you have just
now correctly pointed out that the Emperor has no clothes.
- Your Pal, O
This article was really interesting,
did not know you were on that case.
Why did the reporter Elaine Silvestrini
choose to write about it? Her motives
were very unclear. She also seems
quite uninformed about, and somewhat disinterested
in, governmental intrusions on liberty.
In addition, Silvestrini does not seem
to grasp the role of an attorney.
She seems to find it quite shocking that anyone would
challenge the status quo. Very disappointed
in her coverage, if she's going to be a reporter
it would help to have an inquiring mind. - K
Daniel Ruth LaRouche recently commented on his
departure from the Tampon Tribune: "I'm 59 years old and I've
had a triple bypass...I don't quite know what my marketability
is." For a better idea of his marketability see Ruth LaRouche's photo
at http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-lyndon-larouche.jpg
Popular advice for anyone who is in a rough
spot is to try to think about others who are worse off.
For example, Ruth might think about Bart Siegel.
Some people say that Bart Siegel did not understand
how to deal with someone like Ruth LaRouche and his ilk. Some
people say that Bart Siegel was too polite when compared to Daniel
Ruth LaRouche.
Ruth was an addict (nicotine, which has been
compared to heroin in its addictiveness). He gave up the habit.
And he also had triple bypass surgery.
Many locals still wonder whether an actual heart
was found.
It is no wonder why so many media phlegm -including
the nicotine addicts- want to increase the deadly socialist
takeover of medicine. Such people often also need extensive
cosmetic surgery that they can't afford. The need for cosmetic
surgery is often related to smoking and heavy drinking.
Their mental density is the only thing that
prevents Trib twits from openly advocating a socialist takeover
(or government "bailout") of the Tampa Tribune. Some media phlegm
advocate the socialist takeover path for the car industry. They
advocated socialized football stadiums too.
It is the same dogma that was spouted by the
notorious American National Socialists Edward Bellamy and Francis
Bellamy, and later by the National Socialist German Workers Party
(Nazis).
Ruth sometimes attempted humor with flippant
remarks about drinking heavily. Judging from modern journalism
(e.g. election coverage and socialist "bailout" news), heavy drinking
is a big problem in the media.
Perhaps some or all of the above influenced
Ruth LaRouche's notorious nazi-style name-calling, his trademark
at the Tribune.
Earlier Layoffs at the Tribune followed shortly
after a previous defeat of Ruth in a public debate challenge
(See any internet search for "Tampa Tribune lays off"). http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html
After Ruth's previous loss the response against
Ruth from the general public was so great that Ruth said he
was labeled a "Dork, anti-free market statist $#%!&, Dummkopf,
liberal, daffy, dolt, stupid, dunce and, oh by the way, socialist."
http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html
The apology was too late, as the Tribune continued
to twist down its toilet. It is causing spectators to wager on
when the Tribune will be out of business. http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-tampa-tribune.html
Ruth seemed to reference how he had been exposed
when he stated,
"For the last two years, hardly a day has gone
by when I didn't wonder if this would be the day . . . now
that day has come."
On another occasion, Ruth admitted publicly
that locals have labeled him "bigot, prejudiced, hateful and
ignorant" among many other similar insults.
You can lead a reporter to a story,
but you can't make him think.
"Why is television (or
the print media) called a medium? Because it is neither
rare nor well-done."

What do you call a handcuffed

The usual follow up to "Journalists
are the ones who come in after the battle and bayonet
the wounded" is: Politicians are the ones who follow
the journalists and strip the bodies.
A totalitarian
socialist invades the country and goes up to the first
people he sees (a politician and a journalist) and says
"I'm a totalitarian socialist and I just invaded to destroy your
economy. What do you think about that?"
The journalist
replies "I don't think, I just write what the politician
thinks."
The journalist and the
other totalitarian both look at the politician for a response.
The politician glances about furtively and says "What would
you like me to think about that?"
What's the definition of a politician?
It's a guy who will legislate the ways everyone can make
love but he doesn't know any girls.
A journalist
sees a politician riding up on a new bicycle. So he stops
the politician and asks where he bought the bike. The politician
says "The funniest thing happened. A beautiful woman was pushing
her bike past me, when suddenly she stops, takes off all her
clothes and tells me to take what I want!!!!"
Followup punchline to above: And the
journalist says to the politician, "Good choice, her clothes
wouldn't have fit you anyway!!"
The stiff-arm salute developed from the
"Pledge of Allegiance," written in 1892. Francis Bellamy
(author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy
(author of the novel "Looking Backward") and Charles Bellamy
(author of "A Moment of Madness") and Frederick Bellamy
(who introduced Edward to socialistic "Fourierism") were
socialists. Edward, Charles and Frederick were brothers,
and Francis was their cousin. Francis and Edward were both
self-proclaimed National Socialists and they supported the "Nationalism"
movement in the USA, the "Nationalist" magazine, and the "Nationalist
Educational Association." They wanted all of society to ape
the military and they touted "military socialism" and the "industrial
army." Edward’s book was an international bestseller, translated
into every major language (including Italian & German) and
he inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma
influenced socialists worldwide (including Italy & Germany)
via “Nationalist Clubs.”
The government in the USA and the government schools and the media
hide those facts from people in the USA and from people
in other countries.
The U.S. still follows the similar anti libertarian policies. Many
Bellamy socialist policies were followed
in the USA and still are followed in the USA and
caused the USA’s big, expensive and oppressive government.
The government still owns and operates schools, including
the same schools that imposed segregation by law and taught
racism as official government policy. The U.S. practice
of imposing segregation by law in government schools and
teaching racism as official policy even outlasted Mussolini and
Hitler by over 15 years. After segregation in government's
schools ended, the Bellamy legacy caused more police-state
racism of forced busing that destroyed communities and neighborhoods
and deepened hostilities. Those schools still exist. Infants are
given social security numbers that track and tax them for life. Those
schools demand the numbers to enroll. The Pledge still exists
along with laws mandating that teachers lead the robotic pledge
chanting every day for twelve years of each child’s life.
In the summer of 2007 I had
a conversation with a business associate/friend whose
business involved using newspaper classified advertising for
his business. He remarked to me that over an extended period
of time he had given the Tampa Tribune many thousands of dollars
in business. Yet, during that time the Tribune had constantly
published columns of Daniel Ruth in which Ruth constantly
wrote columns in which he disparaged many people in the community
that my friend admired and supported.
I jokingly teased him about
the freedom of the press and such. He very somberly
reminded me that there was a vast difference between freedom
of expression and school yard name calling.
He went on to say that he
had written letters of complaint to the tribune without
so much as an acknowledgement. After years of frustration
he enlisted family members to explore alternatives to Tribune
advertising. They decided that new media of the internet
using classified sites such as Craig's List and local/regional
advertising sites was their answer. They found that not only
was it more effective but far cheaper. My friend was quite gleeful
about his divorce from the Tribune advertising department.
As for myself, being in a
similar business my friend, I, too, have chaffed at
the indifference of the Tribune toward the business I extended
to them. Their seeming attitude was, "We are the only action
in town for your type of business. So you take us and Daniel
Ruth as is--like it or lump it!"
Since that fateful conversation
I had with my friend I have, also, moved all my business
advertising into the new media. And am I ever glad I did.
It has been most effective. Furthermore, I encourage any business
that depends on this type of advertising to move to the new
media. It is cheaper and there is far more competition for your
business. You will not be sorry for your move.
I used to wish that the Tampa
Tribune would rid itself of the likes of Daniel Ruth.
But I no longer wish for that. May the Tampa Tribune and Daniel
Ruth remain together for as long as they both stay in business--which,
I pray, will not be for long.
There is a point where a government becomes so socialistic
that all cops are de facto "bad cops" because they represent
the government and enforce its policies. Examples include
the countries under the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust
was a part): under the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
(~60 million people slaughtered); under the Peoples' Republic
of China (~50 million); under the National Socialist German Workers'
Party (~20 million). Under such socialistic societies there are
no good cops or, if any, they must be extremely rare and able to
do little. It is where "all the cops are criminals and all the sinners
[are] saints" as the Rolling Stones might say. http://rexcurry.net/bad-cops-rexcurrydotnet.html
There is a point where a government becomes so socialistic
that all media are de facto "bad media" because they serve
the government and disseminate its policies. Examples include
media in the countries of the Wholecaust. In
such societies, good media either does not exist or can do little.
The media begin to act like the police.
Elaine Silvestrini of the
Tampa Tribune is similar to other
"reporters" who don't want a written record,
or any record, made of their "interviews."
Some reporters are similar to police who
become very angry when someone requests that
an interview be in writing or recorded.

By BY JAMIE SATTERFIELD,
satterfield@knews.com February 22, 2005
A federal judge today ordered former
Campbell County narcotics investigator
Gerald David Webber to jail until
his sentencing in May for beating and
torturing a drug dealer.
Webber, 40, answered U.S. District Court Judge Tom Varlan's questions
but stood ramrod straight and quiet for most of the 30-minute hearing.
Webber is one of five former Campbell County lawmen charged with federal
civil rights violations of Lester Eugene
Siler, 42, of the White Oak community.
He was the first to appear in court; three others are due in court later
this week. The fifth is yet to be scheduled.
They are charged with handcuffing and torturing Siler for two hours on
July 8, 2004, demanding his drugs and money.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Atchley said none of the men deserved
-- under federal law -- their freedom and asked Varlan to incarcerate them
after their pleas.
Varlan agreed and ordered Webber to be taken into custody immediately.
He is to be sentenced May 23.
Siler and members of his family were present in the courtroom.
Siler's attorneys said they were pleased with the outcome and will probably
file a lawsuit within the next 30 days.
Webber, who headed narcotics investigations for Campbell County and is
accused of being the ringleader in the alleged
torture, pleaded guilty to an
information charging him with conspiracy to
violate Siler's civil rights.
Samuel Franklin, 42, a veteran detective at the agency and head of its
D.A.R.E. program, is scheduled to plead
guilty Wednesday, court records show.
Rookie Deputy Joshua Monday, 24, and process
server Shayne Green, 35, are expected to
plead guilty Thursday, according to records.
The four lawmen and part-time process server William Carroll, 26, were
named in federal informations filed earlier
this month in U.S. District Court.
They are accused of beating and torturing
Siler after showing up at his house to serve a violation
of probation warrant.
Part of the alleged attack was captured on an audiotape after Siler's
wife, Jenny, stashed a tape recorder in the kitchen. An FBI transcript of
the tape revealed in chilling detail how Siler was threatened, beaten and
tortured, with deputies demanding two things from him: that he sign a form
to show he agreed for his house to be searched and that he turn over to them
all his cash and drugs.
Attorneys for Webber and Franklin filed motions asking Varlan to allow
their clients to remain free pending sentencing
hearings.
An attorney for Monday, who is not charged in the conspiracy but instead
is accused of a separate count of pointing
a gun at Siler and threatening to
shoot him during Siler's ordeal, also wants
his client freed until he is sentenced.
Attorney Lee Asbury argued in his motion that Webber, who lives in Anderson
County, "has no prior criminal record" and
"has never missed or been late for an
appointment with the U.S. Attorney."
Webber, Asbury insisted, should be allowed his freedom because "he has
at all times cooperated with the United
States Attorney, the Federal Bureau
of Investigation and the United States Department
of Justice."
Asbury's motion does not note, however, that Webber is accused in state
court charges of lying to the Tennessee
Bureau of Investigation in that
agency's initial investigation of the incident.
Green, Monday and Franklin also are charged in state court with perjury.
The four also face charges in Campbell County
Criminal Court of official oppression.
District Attorney General Paul Phillips
has said state court charges likely will
be dropped if the men wind up imprisoned in the federal
case. Federal penalties are higher than any
that might be handed out in state court, he has said.
Franklin's attorney, Andrew S. Roskind, contends Franklin only went to
Siler's house at the request of Webber.
Franklin, Roskind says, asked Siler's
wife and son to leave the house and, along
with the other four lawmen, demanded Siler
sign the consent form.
"After making the request, Mr. Franklin threatened Mr. Siler with the
use of a slapjack and breaking Mr. Siler's fingers," Roskind wrote. "Mr.
Franklin never carried through with either threat nor did he allow one of
the other four ... to use his slapjack or break Mr. Siler's fingers.
"Unfortunately and regrettably, although Mr. Franklin never physically
harmed Mr. Siler, he failed to stop the other
individuals from inflicting further
... harm and injury," Roskind continued.
Roskind contends in his motion that Franklin has served both Campbell
County and his country -- he was once in the military -- admirably and deserves
freedom pending sentencing because of that.
Monday's attorney, Dennis Francis, writes that his client has no prior
criminal history and would agree to be electronically
monitored if allowed to remain
free.
Atchley counters that none of the men are entitled to freedom.
All, he wrote, will plead guilty to a "crime of violence" for which federal
law requires immediate detention. The only
exceptions to that law, Atchley noted,
would come if the case against them was weak
or the lawmen were likely to receive probation.
"The exceptions do not apply," Atchley wrote, indicating that he will
indeed seek prison terms for the men.
As for Franklin, Atchley contends Franklin's service to Campbell County
and the military does not set him apart from
the garden-variety criminal.
"Even painting the defendant's employment history and military service
in the best possible light, it seems a bit
of a stretch to state that these
make his personal character out of the ordinary,
uncommon and rare," Atchley wrote.
**********************
Elaine Silvestrini, Daniel Ruth, Tampa Tribune promote Flag Fetishism &
verbally fellating flags. See videos on Youtube below.
More layoffs and down-graded formatting are coming for the Tampa Tribune.
Partial blame goes to two Tribune
writers: Elaine Silvestrini and Daniel
Ruth. Partial credit goes to Dr. Rex Curry in exposing
the Tampa Tribune, Silvestrini and Ruth. The layoffs
follow mere weeks after Dr. Curry defeated the Tribune,
Silvestrini and Ruth in public debate challenges. Their
writing was part of a widespread problem at the newspaper.
Earlier Layoffs at the Tribune followed shortly after a previous
victory for Dr. Curry in exposing and defeating Daniel Ruth
(See any internet search for "Tampa Tribune lays off"). http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html
After Ruth's previous defeat the response against Ruth from the general
public was so great that Ruth
said he was labeled a "Dork, anti-free market
statist $#%!&, Dummkopf, liberal, daffy, dolt,
stupid, dunce and, oh by the way, socialist." Ruth
publicly apologized to Dr. Curry for Ruth's errors.
http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html
Ruth's apology was too late, as the Tribune
continued to twist down the toilet. Ruth and Silvestrini are causing spectators
to wager on when the Tribune will be out of business.
The Tribune is collapsing under the web,
and Dr. Curry's work is showing the way as Dr.
Curry's work is taking top spots on the web. A
google search for Elaine Silvestrini shows the # 1 spot
(along with the four top spots) is the RexCurry.net page
(and others) exposing her. A google image search for
Elaine Silvestrini shows the #1 and #2 spots are RexCurry.net
web page images. RexCurry.net also shows in searches for
Daniel Ruth. Videos expose them in the top spots in
Youtube.com searches for Elaine Silvestrini, Daniel Ruth,
and Tampa Tribune. For years, RexCurry.net has been the
# 3 spot in a google search for Daniel Ruth, after Ruth's
previous humiliating defeat, and that explains why Daniel
the near-sighted leprechaun remains turdly.
The Tampa Tribune perpetuates flag fetishism
and verbally fellating flags by repeating
tired cliches through reporters such as Silvestrini
and Ruth. They keep their readers ignorant. A youtube.com
video reveals more (Note that the views for
this Youtube video are over 18,000 views) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4
It is a reminder of the old saying: "To
a socialist/statist there is no bigger phallic
symbol than a flag pole."
Below are more videos and links that everyone
asked for exposing Daniel Ruth, Elaine Silvestrini
and the Tampa Tribune.
Has the mystery of Ruth's hybrid toupee / combover question been solved?
(Ruth once told a critic that Ruth would
let the critic find out if Ruth has a hybrid
toupee/combover if the critic paid Ruth $5000 -Ruth
knew that if the price was high then the critic would
pass on Ruth's toupee/combover question).
See the startling photographic evidence at http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-lyndon-larouche.jpg
Here is an excerpt: Think of the Tampa
Tribune as a torture and terrorism conspiracy
(as its readers think of it; both of them).
That makes Elaine
Silvestrini a co-conspirator
with Daniel Ruth, another Trib twit.
After Ruth's previous loss to Dr. Curry, the
response against Ruth from the
general public was so
great that Ruth said he was labeled a "Dork,
anti-free market statist $#@%!&@, Dummkopf,
liberal, daffy, dolt,
stupid, dunce and, oh
by the way, socialist." http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html
Ruth's use of "socialist" is very telling in that Ruth continues to cover-up
for the National
Socialist German Workers Party and its deadly
dogma. Ruth has probably
never written the actual name of the group
"National Socialist German Workers Party"
ever in the Tribune
(check it yourself). Ruth
writes flippantly about torture. Good Grief,
Lyndon LaRouche was not as delusional as Ruth
is. For many years,
the loopy leprechaun
(Ruth) has flittered about the fringes
of political life in the Tampa Bay area as
a sort of scary class clown, in the
"special" section, hoping
that his kindergarten cracks will make
his teachers give up and leave him alone. Ruth's
insane clown posse act
is like something out
of "Apocalypse Now" meets "A Clockwork
Orange." He is the Rump-hole of the Insanely.
http://rexcurry.net/ruthmore.html
In that way, the Tampa
Tribune promotes and perpetuates flag
fetishism by repeating tired propaganda through
reporters such as Ruth
and Silvestrini. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html
It is no wonder that their
columns never state any qualifications
they have to write articles about the topic
(or any articles). Only their
phone numbers and email
addresses were given with no biographical
or background information (nor any link
to such information). There
is a complete lack of
disclosure of whether they have any licensing
or educational achievement that qualifies
them to write on such a
topic, how they were selected,
nor how much they were paid to write (It
might embarrass them if they printed what they
were
paid). They both learned
to write in government schools on Planet
Zircon 9. She is the Touch-hole of the Insanely.
Compared to Dr. Curry's illustrious career,
Silvestrini's name is longer than her career highlights.
One suspects that Silvestrini's flatulence worsens
every time she rubs her brain cells together.
Both of them.
As a career move, they
should not become lawyers. Their
"journalism" might cause some people to wonder
if they are competent even
to write about legal
issues, or to write at all about anything.
If they are considering a career change
to law then here is a Memo to Daniel
Ruth and Elaine Silvestrini:
Don't start packing your bags.
They submit to robotic
chanting in worship of the state because
it is so much like their writing: robotic repetition
of claptrap that is learned
from the government and
taught in government schools (socialist
schools). http://rexcurry.net/silvestrini-elaine-tampa-tribune.jpg
Silvestrini and Ruth
remain unable or unwilling to state the simple
issue: The Pledge of Allegiance (and its author)
was the origin of the
salute of the National
Socialist German Workers Party and influenced
its symbols and rituals. They are deniers
and historical revisionists.
Are all Tribune writers
that dense or does intellectual dishonesty
and a lack of integrity make them unwilling
to provide simple accurate
reporting?
On the other hand, Elaine
Silvestrini has strange tastes in what
she does write about. In a recent article, Silvestrini's
interests were drawn
to "adults only" web
pages about swastika and flag fetishism;
On 7-3-07, Silvestrini wrote about a man
who sells virtual sex toys,
including characters
on screen that can be animated into a variety
of sexual positions; Silvestrini has written
repeatedly about what
Silvestrini calls a "high-profile
drug, sex and torture case."
If you read newspapers
for years then you will see all manner
of ditzoid craziness that slops its way over the
journalistic gunwales -claims
of UFO abductions, the
conspiracy theorists, Nazi cabals, deranged
threatening environmentalists and people
who believe monkeys are
taking over the world.
And those are just some
of the serious news stories in newspapers.
There are some newspaper writers, too,
who are really weird. Take Ruth and
Silvestrini. Please,
take them.
For all the bizarre black
helicopter sightings and strange arguments
that Shecky Green and the Jewish lobby control
the government and Y2K means the end
of the world, the most
twistedly evasive work comes from Ruth
and Silvestrini.
The Felliniesque Fidel
Castros never addressed any of the original
issues. For example, why is the federal
government growing so large,
taking over criminal law
nationwide, and becoming involved in what
were historically state-level cases? Lame
Silvestrini - a "newspaper"
writer - weighed
in with one long sputtering bluster against
reality. Ruth did his mental blank-out. The
Karl Marx duo of the Twilight Zone
responded with a bunch
of journalistic babble.
Silvestrini and Ruth
are two of the most visible local disciples
of the Tampa Tribune, which ought to have
their embarrassed fellow
travelers donning Groucho
Marx disguises around the office and about
town.
Recently when Silvestrini
wrote again about "high-profile drugs,
sex and torture," Silvestrini mentioned Dr. Curry,
and his appellate work
as an attorney for a defendant
in whom Silvestrini has taken an ongoing
interest. Silvestrini wrote about two critics
of Curry's work and
then she quoted Curry's
response, "You can write that I have
challenged them to a public debate of their claims
and that the next step is
to select a time and place
for doing so, if they think they are up
to it." http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html
Silvestrini's quote was
a public debate challenge by Dr. Curry
to Charles Rose, a professor at Stetson Law School,
and the dare was
printed in the Tampa
Tribune Newspaper on September 6, 2008.
A law school would be an ideal place for
an educational debate and it
would be easy for Charles
Rose to arrange it. As expected, Charles
Rose apparently did not think he was up to it
as Charles Rose has
not selected a time or
place in response to Dr. Curry's public debate
challenge.
Even after Elaine Silvestrini
printed the debate challenge to Charles
Rose in the newspaper, there was no response
from Rose that
Silvestrini printed in
the article. It remains another media debate
challenge victory for Dr. Curry over Charles Rose.
The media debate challenge
that was issued by Dr. Rex Curry as quoted
by Silvestrini, is also available to Silvestrini
and Ruth......if either
thinks that he/she is
up to it. Apparently, they don't think
they are up to it as neither has not selected
a time or place in response to the
public debate challenge.
They are only fooling themselves.
It is another media debate
challenge victory for Dr. Curry over
Daniel Ruth, Elaine Silvestrini and the Tampa
Tribune newspaper.
*************************
Before
4:20 p.m. on 9-4-08, Elaine Silvestrini
placed a call to Dr. Rex Curry and
she left a vague message on voicemail asking
to talk to him. Because of the vagueness
of the message and because Silvestrini works
for the Tampa Tribune, and Dr. Curry is familiar
with her writing, and she has an ongoing interest
in one of Dr. Curry's clients, Dr. Curry responded
in writing by email to Silvestrini in order to create
a written record of what transpired.
In
response, Silvestrini sent an email to
Dr. Curry on 9-4-2008 at 4:20 p.m. that
began "I wanted to talk to you...." and
used that phrase twice in the email. It was clear that
she did not want to make a written record of
what she wanted to say, nor what the responses
would be. Dr. Curry took the sensible path and
continued to respond in writing throughout the
disturbing repetitive communications.
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-4-2008 at
5:07 p.m. that included the sentence
"I really would like to talk."
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-5-2008 at
8:26 a.m.
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-5-2008 at
2:00 p.m. that included the sentence
"I really would like to talk to you."
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-5-2008 at
3:02 p.m.
Silvestrini
sent another email on 9-5-2008 at
4:10 p.m. That email included her statement
that she wanted to talk about "adults only"
web pages.
Silvestrini
became childishly angry when Dr.
Curry spurned her overtures "to talk."
Dr. Curry wanted to communicate
in writing to make a record of what Silvestrini
was doing. She did not want to create
a record (she did not want to communicate by email).
It was only after Silvestrini's behavior was publicly exposed that she
stopped.
Silvestrini misquoted Dr. Curry in Silvestrini's article when she wrote
that Dr. Curry "said in an e-mail exchange
that he plans in his argument
to the court to quote from the book 'The Prosecution
of President George W. Bush for Murder'
by the former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi." The
email shows that Silvestrini's comment is incorrect
and that Dr. Curry was wise to restrict Silvestrini
to written communication. Even when a Tampa Tribune
reporter like Silvestrini is restricted to
written communication, she still can't get the
quote correct. Even when Silvestrini could literally
cut-and-paste the quote from email, she still
blows it. Silvestrini later admitted her "error" in
public in a later article in the newspaper. She kinda sorta
had to admit the error because it was all done by email.
Does anyone think she would recollect it that way if it had
been by "talking"?
Silvestrini had plenty of potential quotes in Dr. Curry's generous written
interview
yet, as is classic bad journalism, she
very selectively (misleadingly)
gave her readers only two short quotes, and she
misquoted one of those. That is a letter grade of
"F" with a failing 50% rating equivalent to flipping
a coin.
