NEPA news: the offensive Kids for Cash judges go on the offensive, assemble "Taint Team"!
The best defense when you railroad kids into your private "for profit" jail is a good offense and get the "TAINT TEAM" rolling! Remember, privatizing (corporatizing) public things like jails and putting them into the "for profit" sector lead to things like this. So let's keep chipping away at public things and privatizing/corporatizing them so private citizens like the Kids for Cash judges can create badly needed profits...at the expense of justice! I feel sorry for the kids for cash and their families that have to witness this arrogant circus.
Above: is that the "Taint Team"? There's a lot of Taint there!
SCRANTON – Attorneys for former judges Michael Conahan and Mark Ciavarella launched their defense with a blistering attack Monday, filing dozens of pre-trial motions that include allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and bias by the trial judge.
The motions, filed by lead defense attorneys Al Flora and Philip Gelso, seek to dismiss the 48-count indictment filed in September. The attorneys argue that the U.S. Attorney’s Office engaged in “outrageous conduct” by utilizing attorney Robert Powell as an informant when it knew Powell had been part of a “joint defense agreement” with the judges.
Flora, who represents Ciavarella, and Gelso, who represents Conahan, also want U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik to recuse himself from the case based on comments he allegedly made that indicate he has pre-judged Conahan’s and Ciavarella’s guilt, they say.
The documents were among a combined total of 45 pre-trial motions filed by Flora and Gelso and their co-counsel, William Ruzzo and Arthur Donato. Other key motions filed included:
• Change of venue based on extensive pre-trial publicity surrounding the case.
• Suppression of statements contained in audio recordings obtained by Powell.
• Dismissal of all counts related to the charges of racketeering and honest services fraud.
• Compelling the government to provide more detailed evidence and to provide transcripts of grand jury proceedings that led to the charges.
After tainting the NEPA judicial system forever, the Kids for Cash "judges" assemble "TAINT TEAM":
"Prosecutors, aware that defense strategies might be revealed, assembled a separate 'taint' team to review the recordings and redact any information that might be deemed to be protected by attorney-client privilege. Gelso says the 'taint' team did not follow established protocol and allowed some information to be revealed to the prosecution team that should have been withheld."
On right: the head of Judges Conahan and Ciavarella's "Taint Team" - Ron Jeremy.
First it's TeaBaggers, now it's the Taint Team!
How much more proof do we need that elections are being stolen on electronic voting machines before we ban them???
Actual witness in court under oath states that electronic voting machines were rigged to flip votes! I guess this ONLY happened here in Kentucky and never anywhere else! They're the same e-vote machines everywhere!
Five...Five...Five Dollar Foot Long! Unemployed people of America who had their jobs outsourced to other countries: get out your Jim Bunning K-Y (R) lubricant in preparation for your Jim Bunning Five Dollar Foot Long!
...and that census worker that was either hung or hung himself with "FED" scrawled on his chest was in the EXACT SAME COUNTY in Kentucky that the electronic voting machine flipping happened! Yes, Clay County, Kentucky! What are the odds of that?
Far be it for the "news" to point this out to you! (you know, the "liberal media")
Like I've been telling you and providing you proof over and over and over again: now we know exactly where bajillionaire Rush Limbaugh, rightwing media, FOX "news", and the Republicans stand vs. the middle class: DEAD STRAIGHT AGAINST US! Suddenly, they pick (naturally) unemployment to take a stand on government spending!
Rush Limbaugh-ette Laura Ingraham says Americans are against the unemployment bill like Bunning is. That's true...if her definition of "Americans" is her and Rush Limbaugh:
The man who started it all is on the right: their "hero" Ronald Reagan!
Update Special Commentary: "I think I figured out exactly what the Republicans are doing. What are the odds that only ONE Republican is blocking the unemployment bill? AND he's going to retire after his term is up so he has no repercussions? I think the ENTIRE Republican Party is against unemployment benefits, just like Ronald Reagan who started taxing unemployment, but it is SO HORRENDOUS to the entire party to be perceived this way, they have a meeting behind the scenes and pick ONE Republican to block unemployment, one who is retiring, to block it and then this releases all the other Republicans to vote FOR it so the entire party doesn't look bad. They can even play games to look good like have other Republicans even chastise Bunning, which is exactly what they are doing. I'll bet if you examine the other bills they're holding up, you will detect a pattern where they take turns like this. Bunning was the pick for this one. And the overall end is Mission:Accomplised! The unemployment bill goes down only due to ONE Republican so the ENTIRE PARTY doesn't look so bad. We're all being played like a fiddle, folks! No ONE person is this crazy and stupid, I don't believe it. This was planned by the entire Republican Party, but Bunning was picked to be the fall guy or scapegoat. Don't worry, they'll take care of him for doing this. If you don't think the Republican Party leadership or whoever is running the GOP didn't plan this and pick Bunning as 'their guy' to do this, and Bunning is the only one acting independently on this, you're stupider than you look. Enjoy the media show, suckers, as the Republicans once again play everyone like a fiddle."
The ghost of Ronald Reagan lives on in Jim Bunning...
Ronald Reagan and the Republicans started taxing unemployment in 1983, the Republican War on Unemployment Benefits continues...Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's while he was still president, was he even running the country? Who was running the country? George Bush's father? And the Republicans want your social security, too! George Bush already tried it! Did you notice that the (not) liberal media never brings that up during this financial crisis? Or does any stories: "what if George Bush privatized social security, what would've happened to it during the financial crisis?" Let's just forget about it! That George Bush wanted to privatize social security! Never happened! According to the (not) liberal media!
ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL: TAX ON UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
While the most crucial immediate task to help the jobless is to force Congress to act before Feb. 28, the unemployment comp system needs another fix: repealing the federal income tax on UC (unemployment compensation) income.
Adding insult to injury for jobless workers is the persistence of an outrageous but barely-remembered change enacted in 1983 during the last recession. At the federal level, Reagan and the Republicans came up with an inventively regressive rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul scheme to deal with the shortfall in federal funds: taxing UC benefits to help provide support the UC system.
I wish I was joking, but this is true: K-Y Republican Senator Jim Bunning is holding up unemployment benefits for millions, the Republicans continue the war on the middle class. If you're not the 1% richest, you get the middle finger. Bunning says his reason is because "you won't pay for it". So, he never had a problem with the 2.5 BILLION a week we're spending on the Wars Bush started (and Obama is escalating) going on 9 years, no problem rushing through bombs to Israel whenever they need them, no problem with any other expenditures...until it's time to take a stand against unemployed Americans! But then he says, and again I wish I was joking, that his stand against unemployed Americans caused him to miss the Kentucky-South Carolina basketball game! His sacrifice was that he missed watching a basketball game! I'm beginning to think the Republicans are taking turns doing this as a plan. Anyone else agree? And it was just Bunning's "turn".
RALPH NADER: Well, it’s just the latest manifestation of the graveyard in Congress known as the US Senate. There are over 100 bills, many of them fairly good, that the House of Representatives have passed, including financial regulation, that are buried in the Senate. And the Senate rules allow one senator, like Senator Jim Bunning, who’s not running for reelection, so he doesn’t have to worry about adverse feedback from Kentucky, to block disbursements for unemployed people, unemployment compensation, and also opens the door to the banking lobby, which, as Senator Durbin of Illinois said a few weeks ago, run the place. That’s what his words. He said, “The banks run the place.”
Senate Republican Jim Bunning is continuing to filibuster a key spending bill to extend unemployment benefits for hundreds of thousands of American workers. The blocked bill also affects several governmental agencies, rural television customers and doctors receiving Medicare payments. At the same time, Senate Banking Committee Chair Christopher Dodd has abandoned an idea proposed by President Obama and favored by consumer groups to create an independent Consumer Financial Protection Agency to protect consumers against abuses in mortgages, credit cards and other forms of lending. Meanwhile, General Motors announced today it is recalling 1.3 million compact cars in North America because of a power steering problem that has been linked to fourteen crashes. GM blamed the fault on a supplier partially owned by Toyota. We speak to longtime consumer advocate Ralph Nader.
I think now is a good time to re-post this video - Get rid of the Senate:

I've been writing about various states just beginning campaigns for single-payer healthcare. Pennsylvania is on the cusp of completing one.
They claim to have the best legislation, which will provide everyone with healthcare, pay for it, and in fact save people and businesses money, as well as getting around the federal restrictions Congressman Dennis Kucinich has attempted unsuccessfully thus far to waive for states. In Pennsylvania they have Democratic and Republican cosponsors. Imagine that in Washington, D.C.! And they have a governor ready to sign the bill into law.
Health Care for All Pennsylvania clearly has one of the best websites. Pennsylvania's campaign at http://healthcare4allpa.org/ , led by Chuck Pennacchio, makes a good model for other states to learn from and provides resources other states might do well to borrow or modify. This website is full of PDFs, power points, charts, and videos explaining the benefits of state-level single-payer healthcare, plus all kinds of references for further reading, and even a good list of links to similar campaigns in other states, including California, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, and Wisconsin.
"This is like the sledgehammer against the Berlin Wall," Ferlo says of his effort to create a statewide single-payer health-care plan. Such a measure would bypass insurance companies entirely, having a government agency reimburse doctors and hospitals for medical treatment. "But it's doable."
BD: The media was liberal at one time. It did hold the powerful accountable. What better plan was there than for the powerful to usurp the liberal media and keep calling it liberal? The reason they call it liberal is because it was liberal before they usurped it. So, it follows, that those who keep calling it liberal, like Rush Limbaugh, work for the powerful. Do you like his cigar? Did you know cigars are a symbol of the rich and powerful?
"It is known among political scientists that powerful forces always seek to gain control of pre-existing social and political institutions so they can usurp their powers."
America's transformation into a fascist state is defined by obscene and growing inequalities of wealth and income, the rise of the Military/Industrial Complex, and the role of the CIA as 'enforcer' for the establishment. 'Terrorism' is but Bush's pretext to wage a series of oil wars that John McCain says may last '10,000 years'. A phony ' War on Terrorism' must be considered in context.
Ronald Reagan's infamous tax cut of 1982 is high upon a list of many milestones along the US path to fascism and dictatorship. It must be credited with having turned America into a banana republic, a nation of 'haves' and 'have nots'. This single act robbed millions of financial and class status but worse --the hope that they might rise above poverty, better their lot and finance the education of their children.
The wealthy have always used many methods to accumulate wealth, but it was not until the mid-1970s that these methods coalesced into a superbly organized, cohesive and efficient machine. After 1975, it became greater than the sum of its parts, a smooth flowing organization of advocacy groups, lobbyists, think tanks, conservative foundations, and PR firms that hurtled the richest 1 percent into the stratosphere.
The origins of this machine, interestingly enough, can be traced back to the CIA.
