Patricia N. Saffran A Premeditated Execution in Effigy When the Shrady/Lentelli Robert E. Lee Equestrian Monument was unveiled on May 21, 1924, in Charlottesville, a child pulled off the covering to the cheering crowd. The much admired Beaux Art sculpture had the elegance of the art movement, which featured harmonious proportions that are meant to evoke pleasing ancient Greek and Roman statues. All weekend long a reunion of Confederate troops was held in conjunction with the unveiling. Some of the speakers spoke about the gift from philanthropist Paul Goodloe McIntire to…

Russ Winter, Bird-Dogging Cutout Operations at Charlottesville Ambush
Russ Winter ‘The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.’ ― Lenin Jason Kessler was the organizer of the Charlottesville ambush and is one of the defendants in what is called United the Right damage trial. Jury awards $26 million in Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally civil case The SPLC describes Mr. Kessler as a late comer to “Alt-Right” activism. Indeed, a thinking person looking at his resume might give real pause before attending a rally that he organized. For example, how does an individual who was…

Patricia N. Saffran The Charlottesville VA court case of December 2021, deciding the fate of the valuable 1924 Shrady/Lentelli Robert E Lee Equestrian monument has been postponed.

Tim Foyle, On the Psychology of the Conspiracy Denier
Tim Foyle A closer look at the class that mocks. Why is it that otherwise perfectly intelligent, thoughtful and rationally minded people baulk at the suggestion that sociopaths are conspiring to manipulate and deceive them? And why will they defend this ill-founded position with such vehemence? History catalogues the machinations of liars, thieves, bullies and narcissists and their devastating effects. In modern times too, evidence of corruption and extraordinary deceptions abound. We know, without question, that politicians lie and hide their connections and that corporations routinely display utter contempt for…
William de Berg, The Late, Once-Great American Judiciary
William de Berg The United States Constitution, despite some initial flaws necessary to achieve a consensus and jumpstart the new American republic (e.g., the provision counting slaves as 3/5 of a person), is one of the great documents in history and has served the nation well during the almost 250 years since its inception. But, lots of nations, even dictatorships, have impressive Constitutions on paper, promising human rights, free elections, and the rule of law. What transforms the ideals of any Constitution into the reality of a thriving, successful democracy…

James A. Fields Jr. (wrongfully) sentenced to life in prison in Charlottesville car attack, when he was’t even driving the car!
By Paul Duggan [Editor’s note: Paul Duggan appears to be one more in an endless string of incompetent or corrupt newsmen who don’t bother to do any research but mindlessly repeat the official narratives of “false flag” events. James Fields wasn’t even driving the car! (above)] CHARLOTTESVILLE — James A. Fields Jr., an avowed neo-Nazi who rammed his car into a group of counterprotesters at a white-supremacist rally, was sentenced to life in prison by a jury Tuesday after a trial that offered an unsparing view of the physical and emotional ruin…
Judge admits Photoshopped Image as Evidence in Charlottesville Murder Trial
Jim Fetzer Stunned to discover that James Fields has been placed on trial and that the judge has allowed a photoshopped image to be introduced as evidence, I have written to the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Charlottesville, the Clerk of the Court, the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia and other worthies in the hope that this grotesque miscarriage of justice might be averted. I no longer have any confidence in our alleged “system of justice”. Joseph Platania, Esq. Commonwealth’s Attorney City of Charlottesville, VA 22902 Dear Mr. Platania,…
PaidGovernmentShill: A list of “crisis actors” and other hilarious misfits
by PaidGovernmentShill Maybe this will wake em up a little: So many smiles, so little tears and sadness from the Borderline “mass shooting.” Robbie Parker, smiling and laughing, and “getting into character” while hyperventilating. Gene Rosen, whose entire story makes even less sense than his hilarious acting. Thousand Oaks supposed father of a supposed victim… no tears, ZERO sadness, no emotion… brings up gun control, naturally… says his son was (impossibly) also somehow at the Las Vegas shooting. Thousand Oaks supposed mother of supposed victim… this one speaks for itself… she…
