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").

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.
That was near the time Daniel Ruth's show on
970 WFLA was cancelled.
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 and Ruth repeat propaganda as if it were the pledge of
allegiance that they were taught to repeat in government schools (socialist
schools). That is why they failed to make the historic discoveries that
were made by the symbologist Dr. Curry, including the following:
1. The swastika (Hakenkreuz), although an ancient symbol, was used
to represent crossed S-shapes for "socialism" under the National Socialist
German Workers Party. Ruth and Silvestrini have been using the word
"nazi" for so long that it could be described as "nazi" propaganda: The
actual name of the group (National Socialist German
Workers Party) never enters their heads. They have probably never
written the actual name of the group in their newspaper (check it
yourself). Their thinking on the topic is as shallow as repeating the Pledge
of Allegiance. As a consequence, they never understood the significance
of the etymology, the group's true name, what the group's members called
themselves (they did NOT call themselves "nazis"). All of the above, combined
with their desire to rehabilitate the deadly dogma of socialism, is why
they could never discover that the swastika was used to represent S-shapes
for "socialism" under German National Socialism.
2. That the Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the stiff-arm salute
adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party. They are
so locked into the myths that they could never do anything but repeat shallow
propaganda about the pledge. They never gave it any thought or research
at all, and it would never enter their minds to try. Even if they
ever heard that Francis Bellamy was a socialist in the nationalism movement,
they would have been too ignorant to make any comparisons to "Nazis" because
they are too stupid to know that "Nazis" were German National Socialists.
If they ever even started down a mental path to such thoughts, they would
have quickly stopped because of their desire to rehabilitate socialism.
They don't want anyone to know, or to think about, Francis Bellamy
as a socialist in the nationalism movement, and the Pledge of Allegiance
as the origin of the stiff-arm salute adopted by German National Socialists.
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 probably thought
that it was an "ancient Roman salute." Like most twits in the media, they
have probably regurgitated the "ancient Roman salute" myth their entire lives
without giving it a single thought. 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 the book "Mein Kampf" nor in the film "Triumph of the
Will" (as only two examples of many), 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
On the topic of the defendant who Silvestrini and Ruth like to blab about,
the two blabbers are so stupid that they do not realize that the most blessed
event in the defendant's ongoing life was that his trial occurred under the
federal government (instead of the state government). Even the decedents'
relatives understand that (they are probably unhappy about it) and they make
Ruth and Silvestrini look like dense dumbasses.
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
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).
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 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.
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.

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.
When
Soldiers (and civilians and other non-soldiers) Become Murderers
Posted by Karen De Coster on March 28, 2010 02:01 PM
The February 22, 2010 issue of Time magazine includes this article: “The
Threat From Within. Some soldiers become murderers. The military needs to
figure out how to stop them.”
After that headline, the article does not dare raise the question of who
trained them to murder. Not a single comment about what those soldiers are
doing overseas, and how murdering for the state makes them “soldiers,” not
murderers. As usual, the media recognizes murder, when committed by those
who are given orders to murder, to be justified and permissible. Outside
of the military, it’s a crime. From the article:
In late 2005, 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division
took control of a stretch of land just south of Baghdad that had come to
be known as the Triangle of Death. Experiencing some form of combat nearly
every day, suffering from a high casualty rate and enduring chronic breakdowns
in leadership, one of the battalion’s platoons — 1st Platoon, Bravo Company
— fell into a tailspin of poor discipline, substance abuse and brutality.
In March 2006, four 1st Platoon soldiers — Specialist Paul Cortez, Specialist
James Barker, Private First Class Jesse Spielman and Private First Class
Steven Green — perpetrated one of the most heinous war crimes known to have
been committed by U.S. forces during the Iraq War: the rape of a 14-year-old
Iraqi girl and the cold-blooded murders of her, her parents and her 6-year-old
sister.
This event is known as the Mahmudiyah killings. It wasn’t just a rape —
it was a brutal gang rape. After the rape, Green shot the girl on the head
and set her body on fire. Steve Green had already raped the girl in a solo
act prior to this killing event. Green had an imperfect past prior to enlisting
in the Army, and like many young men with no focus or direction, he pursued
the only option he had — the military. Infantry training.
But Green was not a troublemaker, criminal, or otherwise. The media would
like you to believe that he was formed and shaped as a killer before he
joined the military, for then they don’t have to address the question of
why soldiers become murderers. According to Wikipedia, when he joined the
Army, he was “granted a moral character waiver for prior alcohol and other
drug related offenses that might have otherwise disqualified him.” A moral
character waiver? Indeed, because they knew this unfocused young firebrand
would make a great killing soldier.
In his apology to the family of the victims, Green said this: “I see now
that war is intrinsically evil, because killing is intrinsically evil. And,
I am sorry I ever had anything to do with either.” That’s the one thing
that Green got right. My apologies for the link to Huffington Post, but
Robert Koehler had some good words to say about this event:
To my mind, such locked-in know-nothingism, such refusal to make obvious
connections, makes the mainstream U.S. media fully complicit in the conspiracy
to evade, indeed, shatter the whole concept of, responsibility for the consequences
of our wars of conquest and occupation.
These wars, or the fomenting of the precondition that makes them possible
— the dehumanization of whole nationalities — are in and of themselves the
problem: They are the disease. Green’s crimes, and all the other propaganda
embarrassments for which low-ranking scapegoats have been publicly chastised,
are the symptoms. How many symptoms do we need before we dare address the
underlying condition, which infects all of us?
…The context also includes the training that our troops, including Steven
Green, received before deployment: e.g., hours of bayonet training (“Kill!
Kill!”) which has zero combat usefulness in the war on terror, but serves
to desensitize the troops and inculcate a monstrous contempt for the people
whose country they will occupy.
“We did not send a rapist and murderer to Iraq,” said Patty Ruth, Steven
Green’s aunt.
Patty Ruth, of course he wasn’t a rapist and killer. I’m sure the guy you
sent to Iraq was just a casual mischief-maker, and a confused kid with no
plans, focus, or passion for what he wanted to do and be. The military took
advantage of this because it needs kids that are suited to being collectivized
and desensitized so that they will blindly follow orders without reservation.
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.
