My fellow Americans,

Sure, if you live in New York city, vote for Zohran. But, nothing is really going to change until you wake up and realize both parties are corrupt and we collectively demand an end to the system of legalized bribery that is the cause of all the problems in the world.

My name is Ted Martin. I have finished writing a book about my first hand encounters with a morbidly corrupt federal judicial system. The book is titled: The Illusion of Justice and contains documented, incontrovertible proof of widespread systemic corruption in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States Supreme Court, the Administrative Office of United States Courts, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the U.S. Department of Justice. (There is a link for a free digital copy of my book in this post.)

The corruption is undeniable. The judges in both of my cases incorporated the defendant’s fraudulent defenses into their opinions even after I pointed out the fraud in every brief that I filed. These “judges” are clearly taking dictation from corporate defense counsel without even reading the plaintiff’s briefs.

These black robed grifters obviously fixed both of my cases. But, by far, the worst part was knowing that they were systematically violating everyone’s constitutional rights—they just got caught violating mine.

The Supreme Court not only ignored two of the most egregious cases of judicial misconduct imaginable (my cases) but also an amicus brief by former Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Richard Posner in which he blows the whistle on rampant corruption in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

Judge Posner’s amicus brief can be found on the Supreme Court’s website at www.supremecourt.gov (Go to CASE DOCUMENTS at the bottom of the web page and click Docket Search. Enter 17-8352 in the box and click SEARCH. When Docket for 17-8352 appears, click it to find Judge Posner’s amicus brief.)

It will be painfully obvious to anyone who reads my book (or Judges Posner’s amicus brief) that the Supreme Court denies certiorari without even bothering to read the petitions submitted by the citizens of the United States. This obscene betrayal of the public trust is a clear-cut violation of every Justice’s judicial oath and a crime under federal law that is commonly referred to as honest services fraud.

In short, my book proves that the leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties have been conspiring together to pack the courts with corrupt corporate judges who will never side with the American people. This was abundantly clear when Senator Chuck Schumer and the other Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee repeatedly refused to use irrefutable evidence of judicial misconduct by Amy Coney Barrett (a Republican nominee) at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing.

This bipartisan band of seditious conspirators also refused to address the underlying corruption in clear violation of their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

The only difference between the two major political parties is the rhetoric. The special interest groups running this country don’t give a damn which bribe taking stooge you vote for or even if you vote at all. They have already successfully rigged every election by controlling “our” choices.

The leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties have been caught red-handed conspiring to pack the courts with corrupt judges who will never side with you. If there was ever a reason to be a one issue voter, this is it. Besides, any politician caught lying about their fidelity to the Constitution and laws of the United States is obviously lying about everything—particularly their agenda.

Republicans push the corrupt corporate agenda. Democrats pretend to be opposed. Together, they sell their offices to the highest bidders. They foment war for the military industrial complex, promote racism for the prison industrial complex, refuse to restrict access to assault weapons for the gun manufactures, permit large quantities of toxic cancer causing chemicals to be dumped into our air, land, and water for the chemical manufactures, deny needed medical care to our country’s citizens for the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, and turn a willful blind eye to the catastrophic effects of global warming for the fossil fuel industries. The list of their greed fueled crimes against humanity goes on and on.

Voting your current elected representatives out of office should be a no brainer. But, to make sure that they are not replaced with another batch of equally corrupt corporate stooges, we’re also going to have to take back both the Republican and Democratic parties and get the money out of politics.

While this may appear to be a daunting task, all we really need is a sound plan. After giving this matter some careful consideration, I have the following proposal: We agree to put aside all of our ideological differences and unite as Americans in support of the Constitution of the United States.

If you read my book, it really won’t be that difficult. You will know who the real enemy is and it certainly isn’t your fellow citizens. We just need to become one issue voters. Ignore their contrived wedge issues, bullshit talking points, and cringe worthy campaign ads. If they are not fighting tooth and nail to get the money out of politics—don’t legitimize them with your vote.

Seriously, if in doubt—throw them out. Besides, any government official who is not forcefully calling for the resignations of the corrupt leaders of their own political party is, by definition, violating their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Whether Republican or Democrat, a treasonous corporate criminal is a treasonous corporate criminal, they serve the same master and nothing is going to change until we get the money out of politics.

*You get the money out of politics by publicly funding elections, banning all campaign contributions, and, in exchange for their broadcasting/operating licenses, requiring news organizations to give every candidate for public office an equal amount of free advertising space.

In the future, I may write a book titled: The Illusion of Journalism. But for now, I’m just going to say that the media is not going to help anyone blow the whistle on their partners in crime. In the past four years, I couldn’t find a single news organization that hadn’t sold us out.

All an honest journalist would have to do is read Judge Posner’s amicus brief to know that the courts are irretrievably corrupt. Reading my book will conclusively show that the courts are corrupt by design.

If you want a government that actually acts in your best interests, I urge you and everyone you know to read my book as soon as possible. You can get a digital copy of my book free of charge at the link below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_vaMH1riLodzOfQn0kI7ow0RDrPM0NqE/view?usp=sharing

P.S. I blame the Federalist Society for the corruption in the federal judicial system. The six so-called conservative justices on the Supreme Court, Mitch McConnell, and all the Republican Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee are members of the Federalist Society. Donald Trump picked “his” judicial nominees from lists provided by the Federalist Society.

I didn’t know that the Democrats were in on it until I tried to give them proof of judicial misconduct by Amy Coney Barrett at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing. If you would like to read about their disgraceful conduct, you can skip ahead to the Postscript on page 221 of my book. But, by all means, read the rest of the book. The federal government is more corrupt than you can possibly imagine!

Well done Michael. Sending best wishes from UK. A huge turnout for Mamdani would be great. If he can start to improve the lives of the working classes, whilst maintaining safety and security and allowing wealth generation at the same time, he could become an extremely consequential mayor. I wish him well.

I guess this is one of those "local" elections that will have national, and perhaps global, consequences. Anything that will slow down the RINONazi disease in Washington DC will be a good thing. Good Luck, Zohran.

Good Luck, America. You need to exile King Skubalon Don to obscurity as soon as possible.

Theoretically a Muslim voting block in Michigan can completely change the outcome of an American Presidential election... as everything is currently with extremely marginal outcomes.

.

Nobody is posing the question - "Is that a good thing ?".

.

How many Hindus theoretically voted for Kamala Harris ? [Do the Hindus cancel out the Muslims - what about the Brotherhood and "Fruit of Islam" ? ] .

.

.

OUR immigrant first - second - third generation population are part of OUR democracy (such that it is)... Assuming US citizen status.

.

I personally do not think that very conservative Muslim values are naturally aligned with more "Generic" American values that perhaps once placed FREE WILL as a very high priority.

.

I have friends and even bosses that were Iranian that I loved and respected very much and similarly with people I have spent time in Turkey with.

.

And I'm NOT talking the FAKE "American" Christian values either - the one and only GOOD thing that the Founding Father's set out was to keep religion and Christianity the HELL away from constitutional law and government... Other than 'Freedom" of worship (in more general and distant purpose.).

Did the little furry scuttlebutt win yet ?

.

Why not !

.

What's taking him so long ...

.

WHY doesn't he just win - he's always been such a time waster.

.

.

It's a slam dunk - everybody knows the ONLY job of government IS to betray the people - they are so desperate to find ANY alternative to abject and continuous betrayal like that imaginary Trumpy construct the EVERYBODY should be ignoring ... BUT no the FOOLS persist in maintaining his pathetic existence... "OBAMA ROASTS TRUMP" ~ no he didn't unless he literally had him on a four goat spit roast over hot coals - literally - then that Obama guy is just a yesterdays' betrayers streek of piss and nothing MORE.

.

Pathetic - the ONLY stratagem is to ignore the fuck out of all such wastes of space.

No body has any balls these days nor has the basic wit to use them'.

I wash my hands of all of you...

Go get a proper job you failed "Newsys"...

I have come to accept that I am 100% without virtue and that - in and of itself - if I am not careful will also become a virtue.

.

Is it not the case that no matter what - no matter how benign and inconsequential one's existence might be - no matter how passive - neutral and unimpactful - one is still somehow at the molecular level completely soaked in 'Sin".

.

Apparently - but honestly we as a species are not worthy of this planet nor poisonous dominion over its biomes.

.

Unless - it actually turns out (like Ted Lasso) the planet IS the biological warfare lab for the entire galaxy and hence explains why we don't see ANY aliens coming here at all. They stay well clear as all our proteins and enzymes chirally(sp) twist in the opposite directions to all other life in the galaxy and beyond - a HUGE exclusion zone taped off even for the dimmest of space faring extra terrestrials. Just one relatively tiny monkey turd well placed can wipe out an entire planet - just imagine what a HUMAN could provide in the way of having just pinched a loaf ~ which probably explains the extreme apparent interest in rectal probing - we being the MOST toxic of all the omnivores. Mc Donnald's exists for a reason - purposeful design intent by our invisible overlords and biological intergalactic arms dealers.

.

^^^ The logic is impeccable and an actual perfect fit to the "Data".

.

That doesn't happen very often even if the conclusion by measures of "Truth" is disturbing to an extreme degree and hence will be completely ignored.

.

Aren't we all about "The Truth" and the "Truth will set us free".

.

Nope...

.

The truth will have you trapped in a prison like no other.

.

Apparently... FREE WILL requires true ignorance - to operate effectively.

.

[Those neurologists really need to spend more time with children that endlessly make extremely poor decisions to the point of abuse beyond abuse and allowing the worst abuses - maybe that's why the Americans in respect of their governments are very much like children and their imagined freedoms.].

.

A child like mind ≠ maximal state of neuroscientist WRONGLY - defined - "Free Will".

.

Badly informed "Randomness" at the threshold of arbitrary signal noise with the gain turned to MAX ≠ Free Will (either)... (With or without Red Bull).

.

Anyway a slight digression (there) but necessary detour that we will revisit - for another time.

.

We aim to NOT be scooped - so that's why most of this is on a controlled layer no one can see, other than a handful of the poor bastards trying to swim from here to there in a great flood of the bubble and no dry footing or refuge is to be found. Relentless.

.

Remember robots don't sleep.

"Our literal shit" in the right hands and especially the WRONG hands is extremely valuable to an exogenous realm whether exo-planetary or those hiding out in various and numerus synthetic habitats.

.

The ability to kill all living things and especially one's living enemy - seems to always fetch a premium no matter what.

.

Be careful what you trade for and not end up with the galactic version of cheap and colorful party beads.

Just because I invented a practical thousand year long hell - doesn't make me the 'Devil" - some might argue I am doing the work of all those zealots and evangelical zeallouts.

.

Unfortunately it is unlikely that people like George W Bush will get to enjoy or experience that and will die with a clear and empty - VERY empty conscious.

.

Same goes for Hilliary Clinton's mentor Henry Kissinger. Too late.

.

But such a practicalized hell designed as an actual deterrent to douche-baggish policy - like a Bill Clinton that decides to bomb civilians in other countries as a distraction from getting cum on a blue dress ...

.

^^^ THAT being the core American "Morality" in a nut-shell.

.

HELL is very expensive and we expect a long waiting list but the funding is assured.

.

In the old days people actually believed in an eternal soul and an actual hell... Now even the superficially religious (like many an arch Bishop of Canterbury - that does not believe in God) - or real consequences or be deluded by their own narratives that they had to spend months spinning the most dire and murderous abuses at scale into a never ending spiral of "I had no choice - but I am virtuous and most importantly VICTORIOUS.".

.

How many of the victorious that will also be kidnapped and contrived into fake accidents to then become mineralized transitional co-organic pseudomorphs of brain tissue and full nervous system while all the key other tissues have been lovingly dissolved with great care - and all the time electronically hooked up using the finest and purest gold electrodes known to man - every thought and feeling chemically and virtually controlled - the 'Candidate" residing in a horizontal stainless steel refrigerator on its back - a faceless sarcophagus of thermal design.

There's a celebration of ECO's life (now ten years dead) - and pre-constructed Echo Chamber of the inheritors of ECO. At his place of tenure the University of Bologna (they published a lot of conservation articles back in the day).

If you didn't know the words you'd swear they were singing "Donald Zombie Pac(h)e(m)... ".

.

.

I have a habit of Blocking BETAS and now I now longer feel human anymore ?

.

Why would that be ?

.

Why do I feel like that Timothy Oliphant character Kirsh (in Alien Earth)... (hard to find good Kirsh to upgrade a Tiramisu - a never ending quest.).

.

https://alienanthology.fandom.com/wiki/Kirsh

.

.

I feel like I am made of rubber and ceramic / stone ~ ( in spite of being afflicted these past seven years with never ending chronic pain and having my limbic system rung like a bell on a regular basis) - much like my proposed way to transitionally mineralize politicians into an entity that can survive for seven hundred years in a hyper controlled environment that is purely for the purposes of well-funded eternal punishment - a literal technical and actualizable HELL.

.

That doesn't make me the devil - but just a helpful hand for those that will never receive justice nor arrive at a sufficient penance and maybe four hundred and fifty years of cyclical torture - eventually start (maybe) to feel a smidgeon of remorse and maybe seven hundred years from now perhaps a sense of sorrow and even mild repentance. My proposed technologies get around the problem of a fake 'upload: while you have dead child corpses as in Alien Earth.

.

Maybe you have to keep your eyes peeled for a future substack article from me as to the man who invented a practicable long term hell designed entirely around what the Christians REALLY wanted these past eleven hundred years - although I am an atheist - I have discovered that religion is really an entropic and thermodynamic phenomenon coupled with the biological need and efficiency of FALSE belief systems.

.

I am definitely NOT a "One more click" atheist (One more click on the Deities scale and knob - from many to one to none... IS there such a thing as a -ve one -ve two and -ve three deity ? ) - Those atheists that deign to encourage those of faith to go one more click on that particular dial got it DEAD WRONG. It is by any definition a completely false construct as every GOOD atheist knows one cannot disprove the existence of a God or Gods even if they have never deigned (there's that word again) or ordained to visit this ball of rock. [Another supporting axiom for the "Toxic Earth" conjecture.]. I KNOW that religion and complex to simple false belief systems are in fact an artifact of nature. So if you believe that your god created the cosmos and nature itself then you don't get cancelled by ME at least on any imaginary false construct and failure of logic - Dawkins can stick that one firmly up his arse / ass but Southpark already did that one to death.

.

What are you trying to say Eric ...

.

I'm stating that I am not in the business of disabusing someone of their faith. Have you noticed how delusionally pompous and "Victorian" these one more click atheists are ... I do not sit with them + they are really really really really fucking annoying to the point where there lack of humility has one wanting to throw them down the shute (sp) of an industrial meat grinding machine.

.

I KNOW it is an entropic near impossibility to completely extract and reverse false belief systems once installed.

.

Don't be all but but but neuroplasticity and cognitive behavioral therapy <--- Yeah total BS but as we all know (other than for the destruction of nature and all its biomes) the world for the past eight thousand years runs extremely well on total bullshit.

.

To "Cancel" bullshit would represent a total overhaul and massive rebuild and reboot that "Humanity" would never be able to sustain - even if the Alien Bio weapons arms dealers made their presence known or some other more GOD like/ angel like abstract entity decided to pay a visit...
