When (not if) the Republicans LOSE this next election — losing the White House, more seats in the House and the Senate, perhaps the dumb asses in the “GOP” and America will get the message....
Plus - with the nation under another “Carter Administration”, only worse, even the dumb shits who voted for them should see the folly of placing the nation in the hands of ignorant, incompetent, bitchers without solutions and economy wreckers.
The welfare dependent base of the DNC, will get more than a little pissed off when the DNC can’t deliver their welfare checks or food stamps on time, or provide a condo in Malibu and a Lexus to each and every one of the “brothers”......
We are soon to be living in even more interesting times...
The Democrats are a bunch of incompetent nincompoops, who constantly let their alligator mouth overload their hummingbird ass.
There is no question that they will be in power during the most devastating period our history — and get full credit...
Indeed -- but only on the prosecution side. I also found this little gem tucked into the statement:
Additionally, this court has seen the need to issue a specific court order to ensure seating in the gallery for media representatives, some of whom the court notes are present today.Now why does it take a specific court order to ensure seating in the gallery for media representatives and why did Col. Folsom specifically include that in his remarks? Could it be that the prosecution and their enablers have tried to keep much of this under wraps to preclude public dissemination of their nefarious details?
Seems to me that Col. Folsom has thrown up a pretty solid wall for any future prosecution to tunnel through, and by eliminating both of Gen. Helland's command infrastructures from bringing forth new specifications leads me to believe that this case is defunct. Unfortunately, that brings all of the power to bear down on SSgt. Wunterich; I can only hope that his defense team is as successful as LtC. Chessani's.
Many thanks, Red and all, for the info.
I too no longer believe in the truthfulness or honesty of the legal system any longer; the US Supreme Court has held that they can lie and cheat in any way short of bodily injury to get any incriminating statement -- or lie to say you gave one "willingly".
Go watch this three-part video "Talking to the Police" by Professor James Duane of Regent University in Virginia. It was an eye-opener for me.
This Obama clown is no big deal, and his star is fading faster than dew off a sunrise melon.
BTW, I had to look it up: NMCCA stands for the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals.
LtGen Helland's I MEF and MARCENT were not the only commands barred from reviving charges against LtCol Chessani. The entire US Joint Forces Command (commanded by Gen Jim Mattis), as well as all of USJFCOM's subordinate commands are also barred from prefering new charges against Chessani. While the UCI clearly came through the person of Col Ewers, Folsom's only thinly veiled his disgust at Gen Mattis for his meddling in the case and for his clear disregard for propriety. I wholeheartedly agree with Folsom's dismissal, and believe that Chessani's case has been irreversibly tainted by UCI. The conduct of LtCol Chessani's prosecution has greatly diminished the great respect which this Marine once held for Mattis. It is past time for the Corps to do the right thing and cease its prosecution of LtCol Chessani.
I just saw this post, Red, but it’s about midnight, so I’ll try to get to it tomorrow.
I have trouble reading legalese early in the morning wide awake on a fresh pot of coffee. :>)
Late at night, it’s realizing after about 30 minutes that you’ve been reading the same paragraph over and over and getting nowhere with it.
I watched it three times two weeks ago. I already knew that one should never talk to the cops. The good professor explains it in a very entertaining and convincing manner.
Thanks for the ping!
Digging in now!!!
WOW!!!
Not only Professor Duane, but Officer George Bruch from Virginia Beach’s comments also added to that impression. I also liked that he explained that they only “interview” “witnesses”, they don’t “interrogate” them; that “interrogate” is a nasty, vile, nazi-like word!!
From what I've seen, in all of the testimony and evidence produced from all of the Haditha Article 32 Hearings and Court Martial cases to date, it is apparent that none of these cases should have been brought. They are all being pursued because of political involvement by those with no concern for the realities of the battlespace, and reliance on propaganda specifically developed to cast the worst light on any action our troops take in defense of themselves and the civilians they are defending. I can only surmise that the entire JAG team is infused with radical leftists from the ACLU socialists, their whole point to sow distrust and dissent among the front line troops and so lose the battles. It's for certain they don't have our troops best interests in heart.
A line from a book of fifty years ago.
Kim Jong Il endorses Obama.
In 1997 a Chinese Communist official cited the speeches of Hillary Clinton as textbook propaganda.
The "media" is merely the ministry of propaganda.
Folsom has done a monumentally courageous thing here, a real destruction of a real Matrix.
Far from the stuff of Jack Nicholson "truth", the prosecution here is more closely aligned to the current crop of cowardly decapitators in black hoods.
Of course Murtha should be in the Yuri I. Nosenko Hospitality Inn for the duration.
Whoa! Folsum really lays the hammer down. (Or I should say gavel.) I can “hear” the anger in the transcript.
This is the end of the line for the case against Lt. Col Chessani. No way do these charges go anywhere. That is how it sounds to me, anyhow.
That jumped out at me as well. Folsum sounds totally disgusted with this whole thing. As he should be.
That is a curious court order. Hmmmm.
Thanks for the ping, Brit. I think this is the end of this particular witchhunt. IANAL, but this looks like a solid ruling to me. I only pray that the tentacles of this reach the trial of SSgt Frank Wuterich, and his case is dismissed WITH prejudice.
Seems to me that CAAFlog has it right, they blew it on this point.
Further on, in a footnote there is the following:
In that, I fully join you, Amen.
Colonel Ewers later interviewed the accused's immediate superiore at Regimental Combat Team-2; Colonel Davis; and the Commanding General, 2d Marine Division, Major General Huck; as well as the Chief of Staff, 2d Marine Division, Colonel Sokoloski. At the conclusion of his investigation, Colonel Ewers and other staff officers prepared draft findings and conclusions for the final report.
These findings and conclusions that Colonel Ewers shared ultimately posited that the chain of command including the accused was willfully derelect in the performance for their duties for failing to conduct an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Iraqi civilians in Haditha on November 19, 2005.
Someone call the Darwin Society, tell 'em you've found the Missing Link! (And he even mumbles under his breath - I believe the consensus scientists predicted that)
I think it's pretty obvious now that Ewers is and has been all along Secretary Winter's boy. The drafts went to Winter, who immediately and publicly censured Davis, Huck, and Sokoloski, then Ewers gets assigned (by Winter would be my guess) to sit on Mattis's knee - when he's not off publicly damning the Haditha Marines - making sure everyone in those meetings comes up with the proper collusion - er, "conclusion".
I'm looking forward to reading the whole transcript once the sun rises - I can see that the Judge was pissed, and I'm wondering if he wants the media in on this so this stain on the Corps can be burned away by the light of day.
GREAT fact mining & summarizing as always, Girl!
