SPCA's Madeline Bernstein: A Word About Assassinations

Opinion by madeline bernstein spcaLA president
(January 10, 2011) in Society / Animal Rights

As one of the national figures in the Animal Welfare arena I feel that something must be said and some leadership shown in the wake of the Arizona massacre. Many of us feel passionate about our mission and believe that our cause is a righteous one. All of us work with factions with whom we disagree and of whose tactics we disapprove.
Those of us who study history and the arcs of civil movements and revolutions would concede that there have been successful uses of civil disobedience and strong rhetoric. Without the committed, the articulate and the brave who fought before us, who knows if we would be respecting the civil rights of others and if we would be living in a slave free country where abortion, gay marriage, animal protection, freedom of religion, and first amendment rights could be discussed, protested, tweeted, and above all, taken for granted.
It is ironic that recent protests for or against gay marriage, the circus or the war in Iraq have been conducted rather peacefully, while it is our elected officials, the keepers of our constitution, and political wannabees that have jacked up the violent rhetoric to feverish and toxic levels that are sure to kill. Since crazy shrill people are good for ratings there is no incentive to tone it down.
Though a huge fan of the first amendment and not one who believes that an act by a criminal should chill communication for the rest of us, i do believe that leaders have a responsibility to watch the words. President Clinton said - "both the serious and the delirious hear them". As leaders we have to take responsibility for our actions.
Some have called for unity and corrective steps following the Arizona shootings, while Palin has spent all weekend abdicating all responsibility for her web site.  Why not just be willing to examine whether gun cross hair imagery is an idea worth repeating. As leaders we have to persuade, cajole and argue rationally for our points rather than demonize the opposition. As leaders we must model ethical behavior rather than slink under the mantle of anything goes because the ends justify the means. Unless we are hiding something, we should want our audiences to hear the signal rather than the static.
There may not be a cure for crazy, but it there is a cure against illiterate, ignorant, people, politicians and  entertainers who think snarky and bullying equal clever and strong. The cure is to take away their air and votes and simply ignore them by each and every means.
That way, the rest of us who believe in fighting for a cause will be able to continue as civilized members of society. I worry that this bad behavior does not augur well for the rest of us who play by the rules and the members of the vulnerable classes who rely on us. We can't let the delirious on either end win.

State of Arizona Senate Fiftieth Legislature First Regular Session 2011

SB 1433

Introduced by Senators Klein, Allen; Representatives Burges, Harper: Senator Pearce R; Representative Montenegro

AN ACT

Amending title 41, chapter 7, article 12, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 41‑1291; relating to the legislature.

(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:

Section 1.  Title 41, chapter 7, article 12, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding section 41-1291, to read:

START_STATUTE41-1291.  Joint legislative committee on nullification of federal laws; membership; recommendations; legislative action

A.  The joint legislative committee on nullification of federal laws is established consisting of the president of the senate or the president's designee, who serves as cochairperson, six members of the senate who are appointed by the president of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives or the speaker's designee who serves as cochairperson and six members of the house of representatives who are appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives.  No more than four members of the senate and no more than four members of the house of representatives may be from the same political party.  Members shall serve two year terms beginning and ending on the convening of the regular session of the legislature each odd‑numbered year.

B.   A majority of the members constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  The committee shall meet on the call of either cochairperson.

C.  the committee shall recommend, propose and call for a vote by simple majority to nullify in its entirety a specific federal law or regulation that is outside the scope of the powers delegated by the People to the federal government in the United States Constitution.  The committee shall make its recommendation within thirty days after receiving the federal legislation for consideration and process.

D.  The committee may review all existing federal statutes, mandates and Executive orders for the purpose of determining their constitutionality. The committee may recommend for nullification existing federal statutes, mandates and Executive orders enacted before the effective date of this section.

E.  On the committee's recommendation for nullification, the legislature shall vote on whether to nullify the action within sixty days after the committee's recommendation.  Until the vote, the issue in question is of no effect.  The appropriate documentation reflecting the legislature's vote shall be documented in the journals of the respective houses.

F.  If the legislature votes by simple majority to nullify any federal statute, mandate or Executive order on the grounds of constitutionality, this state and its citizens shall not recognize or be obligated to live under the statute, mandate or executive order.

G.  The committee shall ensure that the legislature adopts and enacts all measures that may be necessary to prevent the enforcement of any federal law or regulation nullified pursuant to this section.  The committee shall ensure that the jurisdiction of any cause of action between this State and the federal government regarding nullification of any federal legislation, mandate or executive order with the Supreme Court of the United States alone, as stated in Article III, section 2, United States Constitution. END_STATUTE

Sec. 2.  Legislative intent

The legislature finds and declares:

1.  The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees and reserves to the states or their people all powers not specifically granted to the federal government elsewhere in the Constitution as they were publicly understood at the time that the amendment was ratified on December 15, 1791, subject only to modification by duly ratified subsequent amendments to the United States constitution.  The guarantee of those powers is a matter of compact between this state and the United States as of the time Arizona was admitted to statehood in 1912.

2.  As a matter of compact between this state and the United States as of the time Arizona was admitted to statehood in 1912, the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees to this state that, other than the enumerated powers expressly granted to the United States under Article I, section 8 of the United States Constitution, Congress and the federal government will not exercise any purported additional control over or commandeer rights belonging to this state or its people.

3.  Under the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the people and this state retain their exclusive power to regulate this state subject only to the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee that the people and the state of Arizona exercise those sovereign powers pursuant to each citizen's lawful privileges or immunities and in compliance with the requirements of due process and equal protection of the law.

4.  The ninth amendment to the United States Constitution secures and reserves to the people of Arizona as against the federal government their natural rights to life, liberty and property as entailed by the traditional Anglo-American concept of ordered liberty and as secured by state law, including their rights as they were understood and secured by the law at the time the amendment was ratified on December 15, 1791, as well as their rights as they were understood and secured by the law in this state at the time the Arizona Constitution was adopted.  The guarantee of those rights is a matter of compact between this state and the United States as of the time Arizona was admitted to statehood in 1912.

5.  At the time the United States Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788, the sole and sovereign power to regulate the state business and affairs rested in the state legislature and has always been a compelling state concern and central to state sovereignty.  Accordingly, the public meaning and understanding of Article I, section 8, the "establishment clause" of the First Amendment and the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, is a matter of compact between this state and the United States as of the time Arizona was admitted to statehood in 1912.  Further, the power to regulate commerce among the several states as delegated to the Congress in Article I, section 8, clause 3, United States Constitution, as understood at the time of the founding, was meant to empower Congress to regulate the buying and selling of products made by others, and sometimes land, associated finance and financial instruments and navigation and other carriage across state jurisdictional lines.  This power to regulate commerce does not include agriculture, manufacturing, mining, major crimes or land use, and does not include activities that merely substantially affect commerce.

6.  At the time the United States Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788, the commerce clause was not meant or understood to authorize Congress or the federal judiciary to regulate the state courts in the matter of state substantive law or state judicial procedure.  This meaning and understanding of Article I, section 8, the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, as they pertain to the validity of religious sectarian or foreign law as being controlling or influential precedent, has never been modified by any duly ratified amendment to the United States Constitution.  Accordingly, the public meaning and understanding of Article I, section 8 and the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution is a matter of compact between this state and the United States as of the time Arizona was admitted to statehood in 1912.  Additionally, Article I, section 8, clause 18 of the United States Constitution, the "necessary and proper clause," is not a blank check that empowers the federal government to do anything it deems necessary or proper.  It is instead a limitation of power under the common law doctrine of principals and incidents that allows the Congress to exercise incidental powers.  There are two main conditions required for something to be incidental, and therefore, "necessary and proper", the law or power exercised must be directly applicable to the main, enumerated power and it must be "lesser" than the main power.

7.  At the time the United States Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788, Article I, section 8, clause 1 of the United States Constitution, the "general welfare clause," did not empower the federal government with the ability to do anything it deems good.  It is instead a general introduction explaining the exercise of the enumerated powers of Congress that are prescribed in Article I, section 8 of the Constitution of the United States. When James Madison was asked if this clause was a grant of power, he replied, "If not only the means but the objects are unlimited, the parchment (the Constitution) should be thrown into the fire at once."  Thus, this clause is a limitation on the power of the federal government to act in the welfare of all when passing laws in pursuance of the powers delegated to the United States.  The Commerce Clause was not meant or understood to authorize Congress or the federal judiciary to establish religious sectarian or foreign statute or case law as controlling or influential precedent.  This meaning and understanding of Article I, section 8, the establishment clause of the First Amendment and the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, as they pertain to controlling or influential legal authority, has never been modified by any duly ratified amendment to the United States constitution.  Accordingly, the public meaning and understanding of Article I, section 8, the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, is a matter of compact between this state and the United States as of the time Arizona was admitted to statehood in  1912.

8.  Accordingly, we affirm that neither the "Commerce Clause," the "general welfare clause" or the "necessary and proper clause" of the United States Constitution have ever been expanded, modified or amended and therefore, this state specifically rejects and denies any expanded authority that the federal government may attempt to enforce.

9.  The Congress and the federal government are denied the power to establish laws within this state that are repugnant and obtrusive to state law and to the people in this state.  They are restrained and confined in authority by the eighteen items as prescribed in Article I, section 8 of the United States Constitution.

10.  Congress and the federal government are denied the power to bind the states under foreign statute or case law other than those provisions duly ratified by the Congress as a treaty, so long as the treaty does not violate this state or the United States Constitution.

11.  Further, no authority has ever been given to the legislative branch, the executive branch or the judicial branch of the federal government to preempt state legislation.

12.  This act serves as a notice and demand to the Congress and the federal government to cease and desist all activities outside the scope of their constitutionally designated powers.

Sec. 3.  Secretary of state; transmission of act to others

A.  The Secretary of State shall transmit copies of this act to the legislatures of the several states to assure that this state continues in the same esteem and friendship as currently exists and that this state considers union for specific national purposes and particularly those enumerated in the Constitution of the United States to be friendly to the peace, happiness and prosperity of all the states.

B.  The Secretary of State shall transmit copies of this act to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona with the request that this act be officially entered into the congressional record.

Egypt restores Internet access, Anonymous hackers get involved [Updated]

February 2, 2011 |  9:12 am

The Internet seems to be available again in Egypt after the country cut access to the Web and cellphone networks for a week amid mass unrest.
“Good news: Internet access being restored in Egypt,” Google wrote on its official Twitter profile earlier this morning.
After a long stretch of inactivity, RIPE NCC, which tracks Web traffic, recorded a sudden lurch in Egyptian Internet use starting just after 11 a.m. in Cairo.
A similar tracking organization, the Renesys Group, wrote in an official blog post that access was restored to websites such as the Egyptian Stock Exchange, Commercial International Bank of Egypt and the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
The group also said that Facebook and Twitter were back up inside the country, adding that “no traffic blocks are in place … no funny business. For now.”
Many of the initial protests were organized online, through Facebook groups and other social networking sites. In an attempt to freeze the momentum, the government cracked down on Internet use inside the country.
Though the country’s president, Hosni Mubarak, has since said he would not seek reelection after decades in power, demonstrators continued to clash on Wednesday.
[Updated at 9:20 a.m. ...
"We're pleased that Internet service has been restored and the 5 million people who use Facebook in Egypt can continue using our service to connect, learn, and share," the company said in a statement.
Already, Twitter is awash in messages from Egypt, some asking for donations and medical supplies at hospitals.]
[Updated at 2:00 p.m....
The international group of activist hackers known as Anonymous spent Wednesday trying to bring down Egyptian government websites. The group, which recently attacked the websites of companies it considered opponents of Wikileaks, targeted the Egyptian Ministry of Information’s portal as well as the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology’s site.
“Welcome back to the Internet, #Egypt. Well, except http://www.moiegypt.gov.eg – you stay down,” Anonymous wrote in a Twitter message Wednesday morning.]

http://www.word-detective.com/2008/04/11/pretty-please-with-sugar-on-top/
Excerpt:
“Pretty please” is a phrase used, as the Oxford English Dictionary notes,”in emphatically polite or imploring request[s].” “Pretty please with sugar on top” is Extra Strength Pretty Please, deployed by children and desperate adults in an appeal for cooperation when all other entreaties have failed.
Plain old “please” used in requests (”Please send money”) is an adverb, based on the verb “to please” meaning “to be agreeable or pleasant,” derived from the Latin “placere” (”to be pleasant”). The “request” use of “please” probably originated as a shortened form of the phrase “if it pleases you [to do whatever].”
“Pretty” primarily means, of course, “attractive,” and is rooted in the Old English “praettig,” which meant “clever.” In the 16th century, “pretty” came into use as an adverb meaning “to a considerable extent” (”Bob’s pretty sick”) or, as an adjective, “substantial” (”That boat must have cost a pretty penny”). In the phrase “pretty please,” “pretty” functions as an intensifier, ratcheting up the strength of the “please” to signify that the speaker really, really wants whatever it is they’re asking for. “With sugar on top” turns the urgency dial up to eleven.
The earliest citation in the Oxford English Dictionary for “pretty please” is from 1913, and the earliest for “pretty please with sugar on top” is from 1973. But my guess is that “with sugar on top” actually arose much earlier, at least by the 1950s. While sprinkling sugar on food has a long history, it was in the 1950s when ready-made sugar-coated breakfast cereal became popular, and the phrase may have been spawned then in imitation of advertising (”Ask Mom for Choco-Balls — the ones with with sugar on top!”) for such wholesome fare.
“Pretty please with sugar on top” was always a bit excessive coming from a child, and on the lips of an adult is often meant as sarcasm, as in Quentin Tarantino’s film Pulp Fiction, where a character says, “I need you guys to act fast if you want to get out of this. So pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the [bleeping] car.”

Excerpt:
[Chorus:]
There's fuckers everywhere.
It's them who make me sneer.

I got no money so I went begging,
they told me to go away.
'cause lazy dogs like me should all be gased, was all they said.
But once when I was out looking for a job, they eyed me mockingly.
I was not the one they were out for the guy excused.
Sent home again.

In the streets you meet them everyday.

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/fuckers-everywhere-lyrics-oxymoron.html ]

You need your own defense.
But people still are worrying
why I sneer, they'll never understand.
At school and work they pulled you down with fucked up politics.
The same bunch constitutes out government, i hope they'll pay.

Hugh Thomson was a pilot, just like many more
Fighting for Old Glory on a far-off, foreign shore
He was on a lethal mission, only one of many
Following his orders to kill the enemy, to kill the enemy

He flew low above the village, searching for the foe
When he saw a wounded child on the path below
He thought this to be a sure sign that the enemy was near
So he radioed for back-up and more choppers did appear...

"Help the wounded," he cried out, "and beware of an attack"
And then the child died by a bullet through her back
And when he looked around for the culprits of the scene
It was a company of men in U.S. military green...

The dead were in the hundreds, strewn all around
In this place called My Lai, which once had been a town
There was a hut of huddled children, soldiers had them in their sights
Hugh decided at that moment to fight for what was right...

"Train your weapons on the G.I.'s," and his 'copter crews obeyed
And stood among the children, tattered and afraid
The whole town had been murdered, but for some kids and widowed wives
And Hugh Thomson made sure that those remaining would survive...

It was a fifteen-minute stand-off in a knee-deep sea of red
Amidst the moaning of the dying and the silence of the dead
Hugh Thomson was a soldier and he served his country well
On the day he saved the lives of a dozen kids in hell...

Please slide on over to the right and check out the license expiration date for Thomas Anderson of 'The Matrix'...  and then, and then, and then, watch the following 'In the Year 2525'  it's quite good.   oh yeah, then read about Hugh Thomson and the My Lai massacre  (he was a heck-a-good guy. ...cal

Excerpt:
Hugh C. Thompson, Jr. (April 15, 1943 – January 6, 2006) was a United States Army helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. He is chiefly known for his role in stopping the My Lai Massacre, in which a group of U.S. Army soldiers killed and tortured several hundred unarmed Vietnamese civilians, mutilating their bodies after they had been murdered.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Thompson grew up in rural Stone Mountain, Georgia to strict parents.^[1][2] After dropping out of Troy State University, he volunteered for the US Navy in 1961 and served with a Seabee construction unit from 1961 to 1964. After his enlistment was up he returned home to Georgia and ran a funeral home. Having always wanted to fly, he joined the US Army in 1966 and trained to become a helicopter pilot at Fort Wolters and Rucker. He arrived in Vietnam in late December 1967, and joined the 161st Assault Helicopter Company, which was reorganized into the 123rd Aviation Battalion of the 23rd Americal Division in January 1968. Known as an aggressive and exceptional pilot, Warrant Officer Thompson flew an OH-23 Raven observation helicopter as part of B Company (the "Warlords"). On March 16, 1968 he and his crew were supporting Task Force Barker (a battalion-sized element of the Americal) in a reconnaissance capacity. Serving as one door-gunner was his crew chief, Specialist Glenn Andreotta and as the other was Specialist Lawrence Colburn. All three men received recognition for their heroism at My Lai, although Andreotta died in combat three weeks after the event.

Podcast: Martin Luther King family civil trial: US govt assassinated Dr. King

• January 27th, 2011 9:56 pm ET

Dr. James Fetzer interviewed me on his radio show and podcast, The Real Deal, in discussion of the Martin King, Jr. family civil trial that found the US government guilty for Dr. King’s assassination. The article explaining the evidence (with video) is copied below. The interview is here (you can fast-forward through commercials and music that covers local program information).

Dr. Fetzer has published more than 100 articles and reviews, and is author to 20 books in the philosophy of science, the theoretical foundations of computer science, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science. He is a leading international expert in discovery and analysis of evidence to prove President Kennedy was assassinated with criminal complicity of elements within the highest levels of US government. His research is documented at Assassination Science.
Martin Luther King’s family and his attorney, William F. Pepper, won a civil trial that found US government agencies guilty in the wrongful death of Martin Luther King. The 1999 trial, King Family versus Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators, is the only trial ever conducted on the assassination of Dr. King. The King family’s attempts for a criminal trial were denied, as suspect James Ray’s recant of what he claimed was a false confession was denied.
For comparison, please consider the concentrated media coverage of O.J. Simpson’s trials.
The overwhelming evidence of government complicity introduced and agreed as comprehensively valid by the jury includes the 111th Military Intelligence Group were sent to Dr. King’s location, and that the usual police protection was pulled away just before the assassination. Military Intelligence set-up photographers on a roof of a fire station with a clear view to Dr. King’s balcony. 20th Special Forces Group had an 8-man sniper team at the assassination location on that day. Memphis police ordered the scene where multiple witnesses reported as the source of shooting cut down of their bushes that would have hid a sniper team. Along with sanitizing a crime scene, police abandoned investigative procedure to interview witnesses who lived by the scene of the shooting.
The King Center, managed by his family, provide the outline and partial transcript to the trial here. Closing statements are here. A transcript of a talk given by Mr. Pepper explaining the trial and his book with detailed documentation, An Act of State, is here (2-page summary here). I also recommend David Ratcliffe’s review of the book, Jim Douglass’ coverage of the trial, reviewing Edward Rynearson's resources, and watching Mr. Pepper’s talk on the subject here.
King’s family and Mr. Pepper allege that Dr. King’s speech calling upon America to end the Vietnam War, Beyond Vietnam: A time to break silence, and his plan for a 500,000 camp-in for Washington, D.C. in the summer of 1968 were a threat to dominant and fascist political factions within US government. The evidence for Robert Kennedy’s assassination is also conclusive of government complicity with likely motive to suppress war dissent.
Along with arranging for the assassination, CIA and military disclosure confirm that corporate media collude with political “leadership” to disinform the American public on strategic military, policy, and economic issues. This answers the question why corporate media have not covered the civil trial and verdict for MLK’s assassination.

“For a quarter of a century, Bill Pepper conducted an independent investigation of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. He opened his files to our family, encouraged us to speak with the witnesses, and represented our family in the civil trial against the conspirators. The jury affirmed his findings, providing our family with a long-sought sense of closure and peace, which had been denied by official disinformation and cover-ups. Now the findings of his exhaustive investigation and additional revelations from the trial are presented in the pages of this important book. We recommend it highly to everyone who seeks the truth about Dr. King's assassination.” — Coretta Scott King, Dr. King's wife.

Excerpt:

Loyd Jowers: When the frail, 73-year-old Jowers became ill after three days in court, Judge Swearengen excused him. Jowers did not testify and said through his attorney, Lewis Garrison, that he would plead the Fifth Amendment if subpoenaed. His discretion was too late. In 1993 against the advice of Garrison, Jowers had gone public. Prompted by William Pepper's progress as James Earl Ray's attorney in uncovering Jowers's role in the assassination, Jowers told his story to Sam Donaldson on Prime Time Live. He said he had been asked to help in the murder of King and was told there would be a decoy (Ray) in the plot. He was also told that the police "wouldn't be there that night."

In that interview, the transcript of which was read to the jury in the Memphis courtroom, Jowers said the man who asked him to help in the murder was a Mafia-connected produce dealer named Frank Liberto. Liberto, now deceased, had a courier deliver $100,000 for Jowers to hold at his restaurant, Jim's Grill, the back door of which opened onto the dense bushes across from the Lorraine Motel. Jowers said he was visited the day before the murder by a man named Raul, who brought a rifle in a box.

As Mike Vinson reported in the March-April Probe, other witnesses testified to their knowledge of Liberto's involvement in King's slaying. Store-owner John McFerren said he arrived around 5:15 pm, April 4, 1968, for a produce pick-up at Frank Liberto's warehouse in Memphis. (King would be shot at 6:0l pm.) When he approached the warehouse office, McFerren overheard Liberto on the phone inside saying, "Shoot the son-of-a-bitch on the balcony."

Career highlights

• He was the lone reporter to witness the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis in April 1968.
• As a New York Times reporter, he went coast-to-coast to cover the riots that swept black America in the summers of 1967 and 1968.
• He was a reporter on the streets of Chicago in 1968, covering the riots as the police challenged demonstrators during the Democratic National Convention.
• He covered the trial of Angela Davis, the controversial black scholar accused of a central role in the murder of a Marin County, California, judge during an escape attempt from San Quentin Prison.
• He spent months in Atlanta covering the child murders and the subsequent trial of convicted killer Wayne Williams.
• He traveled the campaign trail with the Rev. Jesse Jackson during his historic run for the presidency in 1984.
• In Africa, he covered the fall of the white regime and election of the first black government in Zimbabwe.
• In New York City, Caldwell broke a barrier in 1979 in becoming the first black journalist to write a regular column in a major daily newspaper Daily News. Three years before the Abner Louima incident, back in April 1994, he reported the story of six Haitian cab drivers (all men) who came forward after being raped and sodomized by a police officer. The officer used his service revolver, uniform, and the police van to carry out these despicable acts. The city did nothing, and to keep Earl Caldwell quiet, he was fired from the News, and essentially barred from large mainstream press.

The Murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Jesse Ventura with Dick Russell

Segregationists Hire the Mob?

 In a book published in 2008, Legacy of Secrecy, we finally learned about a 1968 Justice Department memorandum that got withheld from congressional investigators. Based on confidential information from informants, including a "well-placed protege of Carlos Marcello in New Orleans," the memo says, "the Cosa Nostra [Mafia] agreed to 'broker' or arrange the assassination [of King] for an amount somewhat in excess of three hundred thousand ($300,000) after they were contacted by representatives of 'Forever White,' an elite organization of wealthy segregationists [in the] southeastern states. The Mafia's interest was less the money than the investment-type opportunity presented; i.e., to get in a position to extract (or extort) governmental or other favors from some well-placed southern white persons, including the KKK and White Citizens' Councils."
MLK's balcony as seen from Ray's boarding house
bathroom window (Commercial Appeal/Landov)The memo was based on sources located by a journalist named William Sartor. The FBI didn't show much interest in going after his leads, but Sartor had uncovered information about a pre-assassination meeting between Ray and three of Marcello's associates in New Orleans—after which Ray left town with $2,500 cash and a promise of $12,000 more "for doing one last big job in two to three months." Turns out that journalist Sartor was in Texas in 1971, preparing to interview a nightclub owner linked to Marcello, when he was found murdered.

Excerpt:
In 1976, Gene Barksdale was elected sheriff, and Plunk was the first female that he hired as a fully commissioned officer. Things were going well for Plunk at the time. She married Joseph Gurley in 1979. Gurley was a lieutenant, but he was rising in the department and had political ties to Gilless. Plunk was also rising, making sergeant in 1983. Her personnel record during this period is virtually spotless.
During these years, Plunk says Gilless did not sexually harass her. She attributes this to the fact that he was assigned to a different area of the department.
Like any ambitious deputy, Plunk was an active fund-raiser for her sheriff. She knew how the system worked. Barksdale did not forget about her, even after he was defeated in 1986. Just before leaving office, Barksdale made an 11th-hour set of promotions, among which was Plunk's elevation to lieutenant. Plunk says Barksdale made it clear to her that he was rewarding her personal loyalty.

Frank C. Holloman (1914-1997) joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a Special Agent in 1937 and served in this organization for the next twenty-five years. During his service with the FBI, Holloman acted as Special Agent in Charge of the Atlanta, Cincinnati, Jackson, Mississippi and Memphis offices and conducted security inspections of South American war production plants. He was the Inspector in charge of Director J. Edgar Hoover’s Washington office from 1949 to 1959.

Retiring from the FBI in 1964, Holloman was named Director of Development for Memphis State University and then Executive Director of the Mid-South Medical Center Council. In 1968, Holloman was appointed the first Fire and Police Director of Memphis. It was during this time period when important events such as the Sanitation Strike and Martin Luther King’s assassination took place.

Leaving the Memphis Police Department in October of 1970, Holloman became Coordinator of Security for the University of Missouri. He remained there in a full time capacity until 1972 and served as part time coordinator until 1978. Holloman returned to Memphis in 1972 to become the Executive Director of Future Memphis, Inc. until retirement in 1980.

The Frank Holloman Collection includes personal letters, photographs and official documents spanning the different phases of Holloman’s professional life.

Carlos Marcello: Big Daddy In The Big Easy

by Thomas L. Jones

Vaya Con Dios to All That

When Carlos went off to prison in April 1983, he left a ship that was drifting. He lost most of his political influence almost immediately after he was behind bars and no one was able to replicate his drive and energy; his imprisonment and ongoing illnesses severely handicapped his ability to act as a de facto boss.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Rabinowitz
Excerpt:
Victor Rabinowitz (July 2, 1911 – November 16, 2007) was an American lawyer known for representing high-profile leftist clients and causes.

[edit] Biography

He was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of a factory owner who had emigrated from Lithuania. He graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1934 and also received his BA from Michigan.
Rabinowitz was the law partner of Leonard Boudin. Together they founded the law firm of Rabinowitz and Boudin, currently Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky & Lieberman, in New York. The firm has since represented Paul Robeson, Alger Hiss, Benjamin Spock, Daniel Ellsberg, Dashiell Hammett, the Church of Scientology, and Jimmy Hoffa. It has also represented the government of Chile under Salvador Allende, and the Cuban government since June 1960 and has been Cuba's only U.S. legal counsel in all U.S.-related matters.
The papers of Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky and Lieberman, P.C., also indicate work for, among others, Rockwell Kent, the American Communications Association (ACA) and other unions, the Fellowship of Reconciliation and other non-union organizations ^[1].
Rabinowitz was a prominent figure in the civil rights and liberties eras. He was one of the founders of the National Lawyers Guild in 1937 and national President from 1967 to 1970. He was a member of the American Communist Party from 1942 until the early 1960s. He argued many cases before the United States Supreme Court.
He was married to scholar and author Joanne Grant Rabinowitz (1930–2005).
