ELAINE SILVESTRINI
& DANIEL RUTH
2 GIRLS, 1 CUP JOURNALISM
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 Tribune 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. They are part of a widespread problem at the
newspaper: bad 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
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."
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 to twist down its 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
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
Silvestrini, Ruth and the
Tampa Tribune promote flag fetishism. They promote
fetishism by covering up the history of the
Pledge of Allegiance. In an article printed in the
recent past, Silvestrini mentioned both flag fetishism
and swastika fetishism. 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 fetishists 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 ignorant 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"; 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 symbol
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 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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4
Silvestrini's and Ruth's writing is similar
to robotic chanting in worship of the state.
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 fetish, 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 people 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.
It becomes scarier in
that Ruth refers to himself as "The Book of Ruth."
It was the same dogma behind
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.
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."
Good grief, Lyndon LaRouche was
not as delusional as Ruth is.
Perhaps the fascistic fetishist
(Ruth) is merely a LaRouche Democrat (LaRouche always
ran in the Democratic Party).
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.
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? Paper.
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 petition on Oct. 31,
2005 in case # 04-1668. Search for "Matheson" on
this web page http://supreme.lp.findlaw.com/supreme_court/orders/2005/103105pzor.html
The government also unsuccessfully
appealed to Florida's Supreme
Court to overturn the victory. Also see
the Second District Court of Appeal opinoin at
http://caselaw.findlaw.com/data2/floridastatecases/app/app2_8_2003/2D00-1611.pdf
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.
*************************
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).

Tampa Tribune (and other local papers or incarnations)

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 overlapping 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 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 overlapping 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."
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
WWII began).
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 great 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.

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 is black and white and red all over? your daily
newspaper.
Q: What is the definition of an politician?
A: Someone who claims to solve a
problem you didn't know you had in a way you don't understand.
Q: What is the definition of an journalist?
A: Someone who writes about a politician
solving a problem you didn't know you had in a way you don't understand.
Q: When does a person decide to become a journalist?
A: When he realizes he doesn't have the charisma to
succeed as a politician.
What do you call a handcuffed politician? Trustworthy.
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
