Title:   JUDICIAL LYNCHING OR EXTREME PREJUDICE?

By: Jun Policarpio


 It's a trigger-happy Black female Obama-appointed District Court Judge carrying a Jamaican name of Tanya Sue Chutkan who will decide to convict or not to convict President  Donald J. Trump based on the criminal charges filed by a Special Counsel named Jack Smith.  Smith was  appointed by Joe Biden’s Attorney General named Merritt Garland. At this juncture, I have named the major players of what maybe dubbed as a weird criminal trial of the century.

Merritt Garland appointed Jack Smith to investigate Trump, currently the leading GOP presidential candidate for the 2024 elections, on the issue of classified documents found in his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida and another issue of his involvement in the pro-Trump election protesters that entered the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. 

Garland who is a former judge reportedly cried like a woman in distress, perhaps out of bitterness when Trump dumped him as an Obama  nominee for a seat at the Supreme Court. Now, as the nation's chief law enforcer second to Biden, his fingers seem to be very itchy, so to speak,  to use all available power and resources to put President Trump in jail approximately for 641 years, as estimated by POLITICO,  a Washington-based news media company. 

D.C. or the District of Columbia is the site of Trump's criminal trial where Jack Smith will argue before Judge Chutkan why Biden's formidable political rival  should be in jail for committing his four trumped-up charges, namely: 

Conspiracy to Defraud the United States

Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding

Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding

Conspiracy Against Rights

Trump has expressed his desire to move the venue from D.C.  to West Virginia. The West Virginia Attorney General, Patrick Morrisey, welcomed the idea to avoid any appearance of unfair treatment based on political affiliation and ideology of the Trial Judge, the selected jury, and that of the D.C.   community.

For one thing, the judge has demonstrated her anti-Trump fury towards the pro-Trump protesters who were convicted with no jail time recommended by the prosecutor. Yet she reportedly sentenced them to be jailed for several days. Amazing!

In D.C., only 6.17% of all registered voters are Republicans; therefore, the remaining 93.83% are overwhelmingly Democrats. The District of Columbia is generally known as the bluest political spot in the nation. Biden has also stigmatized Trump as leader of the MAGA(Make America Great Again) Republicans which he described  as "extremists" and "domestic enemies" during his Independence Day Speech in Philadelphia. 

For another thing, Jack Smith and his wife, Katy Savigny are Biden donors. His wife is a documentary film maker known for her film BECOMING, a biography of Michelle Obama. His mother-in-law named Bell Savigny was Senior Justice Fellow at George Soros's Open Society Foundation. She also sat on the board of a Hillary Clinton-funded Human Rights Defense Center known for its leftist ideology. 

Jack Smith is supposed to be an Independent Counsel. Is there any question that he can't be? No way, says the man on the street. 

So if President Trump would be forced to be tried under these circumstances, would this be a proto-type of a JUDICIAL LYNCHING or a good example of EXTREME PREJUDICE?

Movie Title:   CARMELA V. RETURNS

STORYLINE

Maria Carmela Valmonte or Maricar as her friends and neighbors called her in the impoverished neighborhood of Santo Quiterio in Manila, Philippines was a combination of brain and beauty graduating Valedictorian from elementary school.  Her grandmother raised her to be a bright and beautiful girl when her parents left her at a young age of 8.
Her grandfather who used to teach Filipino martial arts called Arnis de Mano earlier died of an old head injury which he suffered in a martial arts competition in Batangas.

 In search of a better life abroad , her mother named Ester accepted an overseas job in Saudi Arabia as a domestic helper but came back dead inside a coffin after being brutally raped by her Muslim employer ; her father Mauro worked as a seaman in a Greek ship but had a fatal accident while doing repair work on the ship’s lower deck.

One night, her sickly Lola needed some medicine for a persistent coughing. Maricar had to scoop some coins in her piggy bank and rushed to a neighborhood drugstore for a cough medication. Wary of the drug addicts and drunkards loitering at night around the neighborhood, she carried a butterfly knife, a gift from  her late grandfather who taught her self-defense in case of an attack. 

Santo Quiterio is a squalid community marked by dilapidated shanty houses  populated mostly by sidewalk vendors, drug addicts, gang members, petty thieves, professional beggars, scavengers, and other low life persons. Despite the presence of a local governing unit called Barangay, the officials were all corrupt from top to bottom allowing themselves to be in the pockets of  the drug lords and gang leaders.

Maricar’s family was one of the first residents of Santo Quiterio before it became a Godforsaken place.  They originally came from Bulacan and Batangas. It was a peaceful and clean neighborhood before the influx of other migrants from Mindanao and the Visayan islands some of whom were victims of natural disasters as well as political unrest in their former residence.

Coming back home from the drugstore located near a lot of drinking places and dark alleys where drug pushers hanged around, she was spotted by the driver of a black colored SUV waiting for his friends buying drugs called “shabu” in a dark alley.  When his friends came back with the drugs, he tailed Maricar walking hurriedly back home to give the medication to his sick grandmother. In one swoop, two of the SUV passengers grabbed Maricar and shoved her into the back of the vehicle. The four young thugs were all high in cocaine as they restrained Maricar covering her mouth to prevent her from yelling. With her hands free, she took out her butterfly knife known as “balisong” in Batangas cut the throats of the one covering her mouth and then cut the femoral artery of the other guy seated with her and the other seated in front of the driver. She told the driver to stop the vehicle with her knife on his throat. She slit his throat as the SUV came into a stop near a cemetery.  Then she jumped out of the vehicle leaving the four thugs on drugs bleeding to death. Maricar was only 13 years old but could be mistaken for a 20 year old because of her bigger built and long legs.

As she ran back home, she remembered her grandfather’s advice to defend herself to the death from would-be rapists who kill their victims.  Just a month ago, a pretty high school girl from another neighborhood was found raped and murdered. No suspects were arrested since the local police or law enforcers were all in the pockets of the drug lords and gang leaders.
After treating her grandmother with the medication, she washed herself and her clothes  from the culprit’s blood. 

The local press dismissed the killing of Maricar’s would-be rapists as victims  of a gangwar.  The four were actually scions of prominent families of Quezon City and Makati.  Using their influence, a  massive investigation was conducted by the Philippine National Police to capture the assailants.  Even with the help of the National Bureau of Investigation of the Philippine Department of Justice, no clue was found and no detective speculated  that the killings could be the work of a young girl, a would-be rape victim.
Maricar was truly a pretty and bright student. Her high school principal recommended her to represent the school in a National Spelling Bee Contest.  The winner of the contest would represent the Philippines in a World Spelling Bee Contest to be held in Washington, D.C. in the United States.  Maricar came out as the overall winner of the Spelling Bee Contest.

Maricar together  with her grandmother who acted as her guardian, left for the United States to represent the Philippines in the World Spelling Bee Contest.  But she decided not to show up at the contest   and chose to stay in the United States illegally.
When offered an opportunity to be an instant citizen by birth, she bought a fake Hawaiian Birth certificate from a Chinese guy who befriended her at a price of one thousand dollars. The Chinese vendor said that his document must be the same document Barack Obama used to make him a natural-born U.S. citizenl. She told the Chinese guy to her name on the certificate as MARIA CARMELA VENDETTA.  
She obtained a Certificate of High School Completion by passing a test called G.E.D. in the United States.  She applied for a U.S. passport to enable her to travel anywhere in the world.

After the death of her grandmother, she left for Toklyo, Japan to pursue a career in Martial Arts. She was then thinking of opening a Martial Arts School in New York specializing in Ninjutsu. After two years of training in a School of Ninjutsu in Tokyo, she returned to the New York to open a school she originally planned.
She was able to attract a lot of students who are interested in Martial Arts for fun and for self-defense. As a Filipino at heart, she was aware of everything happening in the Philippines particularly the corruption in government, proliferation of dangerous drugs available to anybody controlled by drug lords in cahoots with Police and Military officer,  and rampant abuse of young girls and boys at the hands of the crooked wealthy families, increasing number of dead victims of human traffickers.

She also browsed the internet reading and downloading news about the Philippines. One evening after a long day’s work at her school, she came across a story of a grieving father whose wife and two young daughters were savagely raped and murdered by a gang of drug addicts belonging to the rich families in Manila.  There were 9 suspects led by a son of a prominent politician who were initially arrested and prosecuted. Through the intercession of influential personalities in the Police and the Courts, the only evidence implicating the gang’s leader disappeared from the government laboratory.  All of the suspected rapists and murderers were set free at the stroke of a judge’s pen.

Maricar was able to compile several similar stories of rape and murder committed by persons with money, influence, and power.  But this one story struck her nerve because one of the victims carried the name of Carmela.  The victim’s father also told the press that her daughter Carmela kept appearing to him in many forms and demanding justice for the murder of her mother and older sister.

Maricar just turned 21 years old, still single, wanting to pursue a career in law enforcement. Ever since she was attacked by  would-be rapists and killers, she became obsessed with the idea of punishing the culprits one way or another, legally or illegally.
Using her  U.S. passport, she booked a roundtrip ticket to the Philippines intent of talking to the father of the murder-rape victim who died at age 13 whose name is also Maria Carmela.

The victim’s father appeared resigned to his fate of expecting a miracle from heaven to deliver justice for her murdered family. He told Maricar at an interview held at his family’s graveyard that he was against a wall of power and he just could not fight anymore. He actually has been living in terror in the Philippines but refused to leave the Godforsaken country because of the pleadings of her dead 13-year old Carmela who kept appearing in his dreams.

Finally the victim’s father whose name is Lorenzo gave her copies of court records  and proceedings and copies of police reports of the rape-murder case.  He also gave her the names of the convicted rapist-murderers who were later acquitted due to disappearance of evidence while in  police custody.

Maricar began tracking down the whereabouts of the released convicts.  Upon learning that the lead convict named Alfredo who is the son of a politician wants to have a movie about his life, Maricar called him and pretended to be a movie producer interested to film his life story.  She set up a meeting with him at a hotel room in Las Pinas,  a suburb of Manila.  As soon as she opened the door for him, she pulled him in quickly and knocked him out with a hand chop on the back of the neck. She injected him with a truth serum. 

As he was recovering from the knock-out, Maricar dressed up like a ghost of the dead 13  year old victim Carmela asked him why he killed her. her mother, her older sister, and also raped them.  He at first got very scared and later said that he and his gangmates were on drugs  and the devil made them do it.  So Maricar gave him a pen and paper to write his confession addressed to the President of the Philippines and his Secretary of Justice.   After signing his confession, Maricar cut his throat to death as real punishment for his crime.

In span of 24 hours, the other members of Alfredo’s gang who were similarly released from jail were found dead with their throats cut with a butterfly knife or “balisong.”  A piece of paper with the words “The wages of sin is death,” written in blood was left on the face of each dead rapist-murderer.

On the following morning, Maricar packed her luggage and boarded a flight to JFK International Airport beset with an afterthought that justice was not completely served on the perpetrators. She vowed to return to the Philippines and go after “the powers that be” that set free convicted criminals as well as condone the “evil” in high places in the Philippines.

                                                WORKING WITH TRAITORS!


The enemies of our current Republic who called themselves  the "Resistance" have recently decided to viciously and maliciously attack the character of our elected President, Donald J. Trump, from two flanks, one overtly  with the publication of a book titled FEAR: TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE written by a pseudo-liberal journalist of Washington Post, Bob Woodward and the other, covertly with an anonymous letter submitted to James Dao, the op/ed section editor of the New York Times and then published on September 5th. The anonymous letter-writer is a threat to National Security given his or her access presumably to classified data.  This mysterious person maybe a joke if we are to believe what New York Times claims as one who is just expressing a political opinion.  That presumption is totally unacceptable because he or she  can be an "enemy penetraton agent" or a mole assigned to kill the President on a false pretext that he is endangering the United States as stated in the letter.  To flush out this pest is imperative without delay to the extent of a possible declaration of a State of National Emergency and Suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

First, let's identify the principal leaders of the Resistance Movement who are virtually subversives or insurgents.

Consider the  Clintons and Obamas spearheading the Protest Movement against Trump with their weekly update paper called Resistance Now.  They could not accept the reality that Donald Trump who had no public office experience, appointive or elective, demolished their gargantuan political machine. They used slogans at protest rallies like "Not My President" and "Impeach Trump."  The recent anti-Trump speech of Hillary in India was bolstered by this week's open war of words against the President by Barack Obama at the University of Illinois. Obama arrogantly stated with covetous ness that he started the current economic boom that sent unemployment rate to the gutter and GNP at 3.9 %. The former president who appeared lke flesh and bone still is a damned liar pretending to be a Christian. He is truly a Muslim.  He left a garbage of prayer blankets in a room at the White House he disignated as Prayer Room. There's a  reason why he stole billions of American taxpayer's dollars and and sent boxes of cash by plane under cover of darkness to Iran, America's enemy.

Consider Bernie Sanders and his 19 Resistance Organizations all geared to promote socialist policies and support candidates with the same socialist leanings using various indoctrination techniques especially among college students.

Consider self-proclaimed Trump Haters such as Jerry Brown, Andrew Cuomo, Kate Brown, Bob Ferguson, Charles Fried, Alicia Garza, Eric Holder, Jay Inslee, Garrison Keillor, Shia LaBouf, Bill Maher, Tamika Mallory, Michael Moore, Keith Olbermann, John Oliver, Nancy Pelosi, Carmen Perez, Rhea Powell, Robert Reich, Cecile Richards, Linda Sarsour, Ben Sasse, Adam Schiff, Teresa Shook, Meryl Streep, Andrew Sullivan, Madonna, Alec Baldwin, Ashley Judd, Stephen Colbert, Troy Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Alyssa Milano, Al Franken, Maxene Waters, Sheila Jackson, Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, Mary Hirono, Gavin Newsom, Debbie Wasserman, Ed Perez, Keith Ellison, Bill Deblasio and Richard Blumenthal.

Consider the following political advocacy organizations:  Planned Parenthood, ACLU, Sierra Club, Center for Constitutional Rights, Human Rights Campaign, CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood

Consider the Mainsream Media labelled as Fake News by President Trump namely CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, New York Times, Washington Post, Washington Examiner, CBS, TIME, Newsweek, and Daily News.

Consider the following Billionaires who hate our President:  Seth Klarman, Tom Steyer, Meg Whitman, Mark Cuban, Stan Drunkenmiller, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, and the Koch Brothers.

Let all American Christians, Patriots, and anybody who support the anointed leadership of President Donald J. Trump pray and work to help for a quick arrest of an enemy agent roaming to and from on the halls of our sensitive and secured  government institutions.

ORIGIN OF A FINANCIAL SIN IN AMERICA

In the United States, two names are synonymous with the 2008 financial crisis, the largest and global Great Recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s: Fannie Mae(Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac(Federal Home Mortgage Corporation).

In 1999, former democratic president Bill Clinton and the Democrat-controlled Congress turned these two big government-sponsored enterprises created to sell federally secured mortgages to homebuyers into a run away financial institutions lending mortgage money to jobless, credit less, and mendicant Americans who were mostly welfare recipients.

In 2002, Republican President George Bush tried to regulate the activities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but the Democratic-controlled Congress under Sen. Christopher Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank stopped him by saying the two agencies were doing a great job that did not warrant a regulating agency under the Treasury Department.

Then Illinois Senator Barack Obama organized a community-based pressure group called ACORN(Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) among the nation’s jobless and low-income families and launched a massive campaign to apply for low-interest sub-prime mortgages(no income and no credit check) from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These on welfare and low-income constituency became Obama’s majority voters.

Like a person eating a rotting food, the private banks and other foreign investors who bought those federally secured low interest mortgages bundled as securities went bankrupt when the jobless and low income homeowners failed to pay their monthly amortizations. It was reported that some unscrupulous financial crooks presumably allied with the democrats artificially caused a meteoric rise in home prices. During the peak between 2005 and 2007, those jobless and low income homebuyers even obtained large amount of cash by applying for home equity and second mortgage loans. Those people became Obama’s voters.

When Obama became president, he bailed out the banks going bankrupt and other related financial institutions that fell victims to the mortgage racket such as the AIG. Obama used the American taxpayers’ money notably coming from the middle income and wealthy Americans. He can be said to be none other than a modern-day Robin Hood who stole the money of the middle income and rich Americans and gave it to the lazy, jobless and welfare dependent Americans.

Last year, Democratic Senator Dodd and Democratic Congressman Frank, the supposed to be principal culprits of the 2008 financial crisis in America, designed a legislation in 2010 called the Dodd-Frank Act that was signed by President Obama naturally. This terrible piece of legislation provides the largest conglomeration of financial regulations, rules, and procedures specifically aimed to prevent another 2008 financial debacle.

Here’s the moral of this story: If you cause it, fix it.

Here’s what actually has happened: President Obama and his Democratic minions incurred trillions of public debt in trying to cure the financial cancer they themselves caused. And so, we the American people, will suffer the consequences for several years to come unless the culprits surrender to justice.

Consider this report from the Congressional Budget Office: the highest spending level in 40 years occurred in 2009. In 2008 presidential elections, the American voters chose “a fox to guard the hen.” Let us not commit the same mistake next year, my countrymen.

GOD’S HAND MOVES ACCORDING TO HIS WAYS


When the Americans kidnapped the Filipino dictator Marcos and dumped him and his family to Hawaii instead of Paoay, Ilocos Norrte in the heat of the People Power Revolution in 1986, the Filipino people were denied the privilege of rendering judgment against a greedy and tyrannical ruler like what happened to Saddam Hussein and Nicolae Ceausescu who were both sentenced to die. Former president Joseph Estrada somehow underwent a prosecution and upon his conviction, a court of law sentenced him to life imprisonment.

Now we have another former “president” Gloria Macapagal Arroyo about to be prosecuted for multiple plunders, multiple graft and corruption cases, and multiple acts of bribery to rig the electoral system in 2004 and 2007. Let’s hope this time the Philippine judicial system would be able to try her and her cohorts in a court of law and render the appropriate decision for the sake of justice. If convicted, appropriate punishment should be imposed to discourage any other sitting or future presidents from stealing from, lying to, and cheating the poor idol-worshipping and gullible Filipino masses.

The Biblical saying, “there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed” still rules in this digital world. The first murderer, Cain, who killed his brother Abel, tried to cover his sin but failed. His brother’s blood came out from the ground.

A carpenter tried to put his wife’s dead body after killing her in a sawmill grinder to destroy any possible evidence but he still failed. An Asian American forensics expert was able to sort out the victim’s ground bones and used a DNA test for accurate identification. The murderer was appropriately punished.

Even a husband cannot lie to his wife because eventually, the wife gifted with the sixth sense will finally find out the truth. Let us learned this lesson.

These ever-expanding tribe of corrupt and evil Filipino government officials should learn their lessons, too. They cannot hide their evils forever.

Look what’s happening now. A crooked election official came out from hiding and recently told the press that he is ready to be a state witness and resurrect the dying “Hello Garci” cheating scandal during the 2004 presidential elections as well as the 2007 senatorial elections involving the Arroyos and their minions. This sudden turn of event must be an offshoot when another crooked politician, Zaldy Ampatuan, in exchange for his freedom offered to be a state witness against his father and other relatives charged of planning and executing the massacre of journalists and their political enemies in Maguindanao.

I believe it’s God’s Hand that is moving in order for justice to prevail. I’ll not question or try to understand why God does it according to His ways. I will just believe that God is a God of Justice and that’s enough for a man of simple faith.

THE TOY PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES


The last hope to save the Philippines from poverty and corruption is turning out to be a dud. No fire and brimstone to fall on the evil and the looters of the people’s money dancing on the street like a throng of fools. Such is Noynoy Aquino, the “gameboy” president of the Philippines.

I did perceive the only son of former President Cory who kicked out the dictator from Malacanang and Ninoy who was killed by the dictator’s minions as the ultimate saving grace of the poor Filipino masses raped and ravished by a series of foreign colonizers. I now realized that like anybody else, I am also a victim of a wild imagination. He definitely cannot deliver what he promised to do during his campaign for the presidency after one long year of fuzzy politics.

Consider the case of Jocjoc Bolante who escaped to the United States and applied for asylum in order to avoid prosecution in a multi-million dollar Fertilizer Fund scam then being investigated by the Philippine Senate. The United States government denied his asylum application and finally agreed to send him back to the Philippines instead of wasting American taxpayers’money in feeding him in jail.

Here’s the joke on Jocjoc: Aquino has been president for one year and Bolante is living like a king in the Philippines.

What has happened is that the Arroyo regime of thieves preceded a ruling crowd of limping wrists led by an unmarried leader who appears to be a Casanova wannabe. This culture naturally spawned an emerging and fast dominating subculture of influential entertainers and comedians with no brains mostly gays and lesbians even permeating the halls of Congress, both the Senate and the House and some local governments. And the result is, it seems to be: the Philippines has become the entertainment capital of Asia where the poor gets poorer when they give their hardearned money to the rich entertainers who managed to make them laugh with an empty stomach.

Unless I see thousands of job-creating factories and industries being established in the Philippine under his second year in office, President Noynoy Aquino can only good as a toy president of the idol-worshipping and gullible Filipino masses.

And wait for the next leader!

"THIS TROUBLED WORLD IS NOT MY FINAL HOME"




American President Barack Hussein Obama obliged to release his Hawaiian birth certificate to the media to dispel any doubt of his natural birth in the United States. Donald Trump, an American billionaire who aspires to replace Obama next year as president, somehow pushed the first Black president of the United States to show his birth certificate to the public during his series of television interviews and press releases.

If Obama's birth certificate paper turned out to be genuine but the information contained turned out to be false, what will happen next? Well, we can just say that the strongest and most powerful nation in the world fell victim to the mother of all fraud. Yet I must say that this could never happen given America's capability to detect fraud.

Why did President Obama just ignore Trump's foolish cajole, if such is the case? Why pay attention to a silly joke, if such is the case? Maybe because everybody believes in the power of the media to sensationalize a lie, if such is the case. And this lie is so serious that it can destroy the American nation.

I hope that there is nothing to believe in the persistent rumor even before the 2008 presidential elections that Obama was born in Kenya and not in the United States. If it still persists and no evidence to prove otherwise that Obama is a natural born citizen, then the White House should cry racial prejudice owing to the fact that Obama's father was a foreigner from Africa. Remember, racial prejudice is against the United States Constitution.

In another country such as the United Kingdom, something happened there now that captured the interest of the whole world: the magnificent Royal Wedding of the future King and Queen of England, Prince William and commoner Kate Middleton. I was surprised not to see American First Lady Michelle Obama as one the 650 guests invited to the wedding. Perhaps Queen Elizabeth, the current British monarch and grandmother of the future King, or rather Brfitish protocol officials did not forget that sometine in April of 2009, the American First Lady hugged and tapped the Queen's back. It is against British protocol to touch the Queen. To wink at the Queen may not be as what former president George W. Bush did one time.

Again in another counry such as the Republic of the Philippines, former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo faces mountain of corruption and plunder charges. Today as I write this article, Ombudsman Mercedital Gutierrez who was handpicked by Arroyo during her administration to investigate corrupt and plunderous officials except the Arroyo family and their cronies resigned from her post as the Philippine Senate is getting ready for her impeachment trial.

Philippine president Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino is now looking for Guitierrez's replacement who would be able to help him fulfill his campaign promise to root out corruption in government.

I cited only three countries and look at the drama and melodrama unfolding. Stay tuned for world events are getting interesting.
