A version of this essay was published by first post on Jul 14 at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-whats-driving-trumps-u-turns-13906527.htmlThere were two good reasons to support Donald Trump for President of the US: one, that he did not go to war in his first term, and two, that he was the very antithesis of the Deep State-controlled former President Biden.Alas, just less than six months into his re-incarnation as the 47th President, there is reason to wonder if the first claim is no longer accurate: the Ukraine war is dragging on, and so is the Gaza war; Trump's role in the India-Pak skirmish was murky; and he got the US into the Iran-Israel war as a belligerent; so it's hard to portray him as anti-war any more.On the other hand, almost all the initiatives Trump came up with (although in characteristic bull-in-the-china-shop fashion) that could have potentially damaged the Deep State are now being rolled back. It appears the Deep State is back in charge. Consider the much-ballyhooed trade war with China. Personally, I thought the goal of bringing manufacturing back to the US was laudable, although difficult. We saw a whole lot of saber-rattling. But after all the smoke settled, it appears that China, the purported target of the tariff wars, is now sitting pretty with a trade deal that sets 55% tariffs (including a universal 10%, 20% because of fentanyl, and 25% left over from Trump's first term, according to grok).In other words, Trump folded because the Chinese were holding his feet to the fire over rare-earths etc, where they have a quasi-monopoly. The rude meme TACO (I will not spell it out here, but you can look it up) was current for a while.There has been a series of little things that together show that Trump, despite all the bluster, is not that much in control. It is likely that the Deep State has co-opted him, on what grounds we will have to wait and see. The Deep State is nothing if not resourceful. It may be blackmailing him, or it may be dangling crypto profits, or a Nobel Peace Prize in front of Trump. Who knows what other carrots and sticks it wields.The abrupt departure of Elon Musk, and the equally abrupt demise of DOGE was a clue that something was going on. What started with a lot of public support has been quietly trashed. It is obvious to anyone that the Deep State has entrenched itself through sweetheart deals and indirection (eg. USAID as a mechanism for distributing goodies to pals) to the extent that official US foreign policy is merely an inconvenience for the Deep State's actual policies.So now the Deep State is rampaging again, and it has defeated Musk. We saw disturbing signs over the last few weeks, pretty much ever since Musk was defenestrated. There was the tilt towards Pakistan during the 4-day skirmish, followed by the embrace of Field Marshall Munir. Yes, it is true that this can be explained away with the idea that American nuclear material is being held by US troops on Pakistani soil.Those who are worried about India's long-term interests were naturally shocked by this volte-face, but it just goes to show that everybody pursues their national interest, friendships be damned. India is beginning to learn that truism, and not getting involved in everybody's problems, as it were clutching its pearls, clucking and lecturing as in the old Nehruvian days. This is definite progress. India no longer looks like a laughing stock (despite the “pajeet” “smelly” type propaganda unleashed against it, presumably by the CCP and Deep State.)Then came the humiliation of Tulsi Gabbard, the handpicked Director of National Intelligence, whom Trump contradicted directly in regards to intelligence about the Iranian nukes. After that, there was the Iran-Israel 12-day war; India consoled itself that the Trump embrace of Munir was because the US needed to have Pakistan available for US sorties into Iran.After the Iran Israel war, there has been the curious spectacle of the Epstein Files that disappeared. Attorney General Pam Bondi who had earlier said she had the files on her desk is now forced to eat her words. FBI Director Kash Patel is made to look silly. Exactly why would that be? There are dark rumors about who's on the Epstein list, but, ok, they're just rumors.This reminds me of the incredible circus over Hunter Biden's laptop. Everybody knew it was highly compromised, but the FBI stonewalled all investigations. Instead, it peddled the prurient fiction of the Steele dossier. Diversionary tactics, I suppose.And oh, by the way, how come the FBI has not breathed a word about Thomas Matthew Crooks who shot Trump on the campaign trail exactly a year ago on July 13th, and whose assassin bullet missed Trump's cranium by millimeters? It's hard to believe that he was an innocent lone wolf. Who was funding him? I contend it was the Deep State. John Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby all come to mind. So do Robert Kennedy and Sirhan Sirhan. The sad fact of the matter is that, despite a promising start, Trump now appears to be bogged down in distractions like the Nobel Peace Prize (dear Norwegians, just give it to him and let's just move on. After all, you gave it to warmongers Henry Kissinger, Yasser Arafat, Theodore Roosevelt, Barack Obama. Trump is almost in the same illustrious club.)The U-turns on tariffs and trade show that Trump is beginning to see the reality that he cannot wish away de-industrialization, as King Canute memorably learned when he ordered the waves to cease and desist. His goal of bringing back manufacturing to the US is laudable, but it is not clear if that will happen in more than a token manner. The reality of being held hostage by China's supply chain is also dawning on him. 30 years of fecklessness in allowing China to run riot are now coming home to roost.Dedollarization is happening as well. While I don't believe certain doomsday scenarios about precipitate American decline, recession and collapse, it is possible the US will become less of a solitary colossus throwing its weight around. It is this prospect of multi polarity, and the determined pursuit of national interests that India should focus on. The Deep State is inscrutable, and it apparently now has Donald Trump in thrall to itself.1050 words, 8 Jul 2025 This is a public episode.

They executed him on his own doorstep. Eleven years before his death, he predicted exactly how they would do it.William "Bill" Cooper wasn't just a conspiracy theorist—he was a former Naval Intelligence officer who possessed clearance so high that most government officials didn't even know his classification level existed. For decades, he held their most devastating secrets. Then he wrote "Behold a Pale Horse" and signed his own death warrant.You think you know about mind control? You know nothing. What Cooper revealed in his final years makes MKULTRA look like a children's science experiment. He exposed the true architects of human consciousness manipulation—and they murdered him for it on November 5, 2001, while the world was still reeling from 9/11.This wasn't coincidence. This was execution.In this mind-shattering episode, we dive deep into Cooper's most dangerous revelations about the systematic control of human consciousness. He didn't just theorize about mind control—he had the classified documents. The training manuals. The operational procedures used by intelligence agencies to fracture human minds and rebuild them as programmable assets.Cooper revealed how they use trauma-based programming to create multiple personalities in children. How they split consciousness using specific frequencies, drugs, and psychological torture techniques perfected in underground facilities. How they create "sleeper agents" who live normal lives until activated by specific trigger words or symbols.But here's the terrifying truth that got him killed: Cooper proved that every major "lone gunman" shooter, every political assassin, every person who commits inexplicable acts of violence has been through their programming. Sirhan Sirhan. Mark David Chapman. Timothy McVeigh. All of them bore the psychological fingerprints of CIA mind control operations.They weren't crazy. They were weapons.Cooper exposed how they recruit children through foster care systems, military families, and religious organizations. How they use Disney programming, television shows, and music to embed triggers in developing minds. How they've created an entire generation of sleeper agents who don't even know they've been programmed.He revealed the "Monarch Program"—a continuation of MKULTRA that uses butterfly symbolism, specific colors, and coded language to control programmed individuals. He showed how celebrities, politicians, and public figures display clear signs of multiple personality programming, switching between personas on command.Most chilling of all: Cooper predicted that they would eventually use these programmed individuals to carry out mass casualty events that would justify the complete elimination of constitutional rights. He saw Sandy Hook coming. He saw Aurora coming. He saw them all coming because he understood their operational psychology.They killed him because he was teaching people how to recognize the signs. How to identify programmed individuals. How to break the conditioning. How to protect their own children from recruitment.The day after Cooper's murder, his radio show went silent forever. His research was confiscated. His followers were intimidated into silence. They thought they had buried his revelations along with his body.But truth doesn't die with truth-tellers. And Cooper's final gift to humanity was teaching us to recognize the signs of mind control programming—in others and in ourselves.Are you ready to see the psychological prison they've built around your mind? Because Bill Cooper died trying to give you the keys to your own mental freedom. WARNING: This episode contains classified information about government mind control operations that cost Bill Cooper his life. His revelations about programmed assassins and trauma-based conditioning may fundamentally change how you view unexplained acts of violence and psychological manipulation.
June 5th, 1968 - the night America's future was stolen by a single bullet in a Los Angeles hotel kitchen. Robert F. Kennedy wasn't just another political candidate - he was the one man who could have dismantled the military-industrial complex, ended the Vietnam War, and exposed the truth about his brother's assassination. But the shadow government that killed JFK wasn't about to let another Kennedy reach the White House. In this devastating investigation, we expose the real story behind RFK's assassination and reveal why his death marked the end of American democracy as we knew it.Prepare to have everything you believed about that tragic night completely shattered as we uncover the mountain of evidence proving Sirhan Sirhan was just a mind-controlled patsy in a sophisticated CIA operation. We'll expose the impossible ballistics that prove multiple shooters, the witnesses who were silenced or died under mysterious circumstances, and the LAPD cover-up that destroyed crucial evidence within hours of the shooting. From the girl in the polka dot dress who was never found to the security guard whose gun matched the fatal bullets, from the hypnotic programming techniques used on Sirhan to the intelligence connections of everyone in that kitchen - this wasn't a lone gunman, this was a professional hit.But here's what they've hidden from you for over 50 years: RFK knew who killed his brother and was planning to reopen the JFK investigation the moment he became president. He was going to expose the CIA's role in Dallas, end their illegal operations worldwide, and bring the military contractors to justice. The deep state couldn't allow it. We'll reveal RFK's secret files on the JFK assassination, his plans to dismantle the intelligence agencies, and why his death guaranteed decades of endless wars and corporate control.Robert Kennedy didn't just lose his life that night - America lost its last hope for true leadership. And the forces that killed him are still in power today.
On todays Mark joins James and Glenn to talk about the the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. Key points include his background as Attorney General under John F. Kennedy, his presidential aspirations, and the conspiracy theories surrounding his death. Theories discussed include Sirhan Sirhan's involvement, the possibility of hypnosis, the role of the CIA, and the mob's potential involvement. The conversation also touches on the chaotic scene at the Ambassador Hotel, the presence of a woman in a polka dot dress who allegedly confessed to the crime, and the redaction of certain documents. The participants express skepticism about the official narrative and explore various motives and suspects. Don't Miss it!

Bobby Kennedy was going to support MLK with his Presidency of the USA. This powerful duo was a threat to the CIA. Jim feels wanting to end the Vietnam War and wanting to help the repressed American people sealed MLK's fate. When RFK let the attendees in Indianapolis know about MLK's murder, he begged them not to riot. Indianapolis was the only major American city that didn't go up in flames that night. The only loss Bobby had before winning the California primary was in Oregon. Cesar Estrada Chavez helped RFK secure the win in California against McCarthy. Bobby closed his speech on June 5, 1968 with "On to Chicago, let's win there!" before being murdered. Ambassador Hotel bus boy, Juan Romero, held RFK after he was shot in the head, putting his rosary in Bobby's hands. Although Jim hates the Dulles, Angleton etc. he appreciates their technical plans to eliminate their opponents. Lillian Castellano was the first person to add up the bullet holes and wounds, realizing more than 10 bullets were shot. This information was first published in the underground paper Los Angeles Free Press on May 23, 1969. Sirhan's gun only held 8 bullets. There was a SECOND GUN firing in the kitchen pantry of the Ambassador Hotel. Sirhan Sirhan was a PATSY! Just like Oswald, James Earl Ray etc.. Robert Kennedy's autopsy was performed by coroner Dr. Thomas T. Noguchi. Noguchi's findings did not uphold the deep state's fairy tale that Sirhan had murdered Robert Kennedy. Bill Harper wrote a 7 page affidavit stating all of the bullets that hit RFK were shot from below and behind RFK. Sirhan was NEVER behind RFK, making it impossible that he was the assassin who shot RFK. Fernando Faura, reporter for the Hollywood Citizen's News, helped bring the RFK case out of the shadows. Col.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comPaul Bonacci actually won a million-dollar lawsuit against Lawrence 'Larry' King. In his deposition, he claimed that he was inducted into a government program called Project MONARCH where they purposely split his personality through trauma, Satanism, and abuse so he could be molded into a puppet for their schemes. If you are well researched in this area, you will understand that someone like Sirhan Sirhan, the man who they used as a patsy in the Kennedy assassination, was clearly under the effects of a similar program. MK Ultra splits a person's personality so they can be given orders and then never remember what happened. It's the perfect way for them to commit a crime. CIA psychologist actually admitted that they could "create" a long gunmen in six months in declassified documents. Paul Bonacci went into great detail during his deposition. He also claimed that there was high level Satanism in these projects including blowing the whistle about the Temple of Sett."MONARCH was a program that used children to make multiple personalities, for future use, as spies and as a way to take over the United States government.When I first got involved, I was mo**ested by an airman at an air force base involved in MONARCH.

Robert F. Kennedy, younger brother to John F Kennedy, former Attorney General and New York Senator, and a leading Democratic presidential candidate, was assassinated on June 5, 1968. He was at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California, shortly after delivering a victory speech following his win in the California primary. The official story is that Kennedy was shot multiple times by Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian man. Sirhan was quickly apprehended at the scene and later claimed that he was angry over Kennedy's pro-Israel stance, particularly his support for Israel in the wake of the Six-Day War in 1967. Kennedy was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries the following day, on June 6, 1968.Although Sirhan Sirhan was arrested and convicted of the murder, many conspiracy theories have since emerged surrounding the assassination. Some people believe that there may have been a second gunman or that Sirhan's actions were part of a larger plot. These theories have been fueled by the fact that Sirhan's gun was only a small-caliber revolver which was inconsistent with the murder weapon, and the physical evidence suggested that the shots that killed Kennedy came from close range—closer than Sirhan was able to stand to the senator at the time. Some argue that there were additional shooters in the pantry, pointing to discrepancies in witness testimony and the trajectory of the bullets.Conspiracy theories point to the possibility of CIA or other government involvement, citing the political climate of the time, with Kennedy being a vocal critic of the Vietnam War and a potential force for change in U.S. politics. Others suggest that powerful figures within the Democratic Party may have had motives for silencing Kennedy as he was gaining momentum in the race for president. Did Sirhan Sirhan act alone? Or was he merely a victim of MK Ultra? Did he actually kill RFK, or was there someone else directly responsible?Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Uncover the censored truth behind Bobby Kennedy's assassination in this deep dive into the Ambassador Hotel's bloodstained kitchen. Featuring never-broadcast audio of Sirhan Sirhan's hypnosis sessions, where he repeats “RFK must die” like a programmed mantra, and explosive interviews with Sandra Serrano, the key witness who saw the “polka-dot dress girl” fleeing the scene screaming, “We shot him!” This episode reveals how the LAPD destroyed ballistic evidence showing 13 bullets—five more than Sirhan's gun could hold—and exposes CIA operatives caught on film at the hotel that night. Was RFK's death a hit ordered to stop his anti-Vietnam crusade?
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman isn't buying the Menendez brothers' version of events. He's made it clear: they're not getting out of prison on his watch. Standing before the press, Hochman didn't mince words. The self-defense claim? A lie. The supposed rehabilitation? Not enough. His office is officially opposing resentencing for Lyle and Erik Menendez, who are serving life without parole for the 1989 murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. Hochman's argument is simple: the brothers have spent the last 30 years weaving a story that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. They say they were terrified of their father, that years of sexual abuse led them to kill out of fear. But Hochman, after poring over trial transcripts, prison records, and testimony, says that's just not true. He points to the undeniable premeditation—how they drove to San Diego days before the murders to buy shotguns with a fake ID, how they planned an alibi by buying movie tickets, and how, after unloading their weapons into their parents, they shot them again in the kneecaps to stage a gang hit. They even picked up the shotgun shells and dumped their bloody clothes and weapons. None of that screams "panic." It screams "plan." When the police started digging, the brothers initially played innocent, pushing a theory that their parents were killed by the Mafia. That held up until Erik confessed to his therapist—an admission that eventually made its way into the hands of investigators. Only then did their story change. Suddenly, it was self-defense. And as Hochman laid out, they were willing to go to great lengths to sell it. At one point, Lyle allegedly tried to convince his girlfriend to lie under oath, saying Jose had drugged and raped her. The trial testimony evolved yet again, with claims that both brothers had suffered sexual abuse at the hands of their father, with their mother complicit. But Hochman says there's a problem with that story too: it wasn't mentioned in Erik's original confession. In those tapes, Erik reportedly said their father was a controlling force, that their mother couldn't live without him, and that both had to die. Self-defense never came up. Then there's the forensic evidence. The brothers claimed it was dark when they burst into the den, that their parents were standing or lunging at them. But crime scene experts determined that at all times, Jose and Kitty were seated or already wounded on the ground. Hochman says that's just one of 20 lies the brothers have told over the years. Four have been admitted to. Sixteen remain. And unless they acknowledge those, he says they don't deserve a second chance. Naturally, the Menendez family members who support the brothers are outraged. In a statement, they accused Hochman of "ignoring the reality" that Erik and Lyle were "repeatedly abused, feared for their lives, and have atoned for their actions." They argue that Hochman is sending a dangerous message—that male victims of childhood sexual abuse won't be believed. But Hochman is standing firm, and he's not alone. He invoked California Governor Gavin Newsom's 2022 decision to deny parole to Sirhan Sirhan, Robert F. Kennedy's assassin. Despite Sirhan's decades of rehabilitation, Newsom blocked his release because he failed to fully accept responsibility. Hochman says the same logic applies here. No full admission, no second chances. This stance is a complete reversal of former DA George Gascón's position. Before losing re-election to Hochman in December 2024, Gascón supported resentencing, arguing that because the brothers were under 26 at the time of the murders, they should be eligible for parole immediately. Hochman wasted no time undoing that. Still, the brothers aren't out of options. They have a pending habeas corpus petition citing two new pieces of evidence: a letter Erik wrote to a cousin months before the murders describing his father's alleged abuse and allegations from a former boy band member who claims Jose Menendez raped him. Hochman, unsurprisingly, has asked the court to throw it out, calling it unreliable and inadmissible. Their last hope? Clemency. The brothers have petitioned Governor Newsom, and in February, Newsom ordered a 90-day risk assessment to determine whether they pose "an unreasonable risk to the public" if released. It's the final door left open. Whether they walk through it or it slams shut is still up in the air. #MenendezBrothers #TrueCrime #DAHochman #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The trial testimony evolved yet again, with claims that both brothers had suffered sexual abuse at the hands of their father, with their mother complicit. But Hochman says there's a problem with that story too: it wasn't mentioned in Erik's original confession. In those tapes, Erik reportedly said their father was a controlling force, that their mother couldn't live without him, and that both had to die. Self-defense never came up. Then there's the forensic evidence. The brothers claimed it was dark when they burst into the den, that their parents were standing or lunging at them. But crime scene experts determined that at all times, Jose and Kitty were seated or already wounded on the ground. Hochman says that's just one of 20 lies the brothers have told over the years. Four have been admitted to. Sixteen remain. And unless they acknowledge those, he says they don't deserve a second chance. Naturally, the Menendez family members who support the brothers are outraged. In a statement, they accused Hochman of "ignoring the reality" that Erik and Lyle were "repeatedly abused, feared for their lives, and have atoned for their actions." They argue that Hochman is sending a dangerous message—that male victims of childhood sexual abuse won't be believed. But Hochman is standing firm, and he's not alone. He invoked California Governor Gavin Newsom's 2022 decision to deny parole to Sirhan Sirhan, Robert F. Kennedy's assassin. Despite Sirhan's decades of rehabilitation, Newsom blocked his release because he failed to fully accept responsibility. Hochman says the same logic applies here. No full admission, no second chances. This stance is a complete reversal of former DA George Gascón's position. Before losing re-election to Hochman in December 2024, Gascón supported resentencing, arguing that because the brothers were under 26 at the time of the murders, they should be eligible for parole immediately. Hochman wasted no time undoing that. Still, the brothers aren't out of options. They have a pending habeas corpus petition citing two new pieces of evidence: a letter Erik wrote to a cousin months before the murders describing his father's alleged abuse and allegations from a former boy band member who claims Jose Menendez raped him. Hochman, unsurprisingly, has asked the court to throw it out, calling it unreliable and inadmissible. Their last hope? Clemency. The brothers have petitioned Governor Newsom, and in February, Newsom ordered a 90-day risk assessment to determine whether they pose "an unreasonable risk to the public" if released. It's the final door left open. Whether they walk through it or it slams shut is still up in the air. #MenendezBrothers #TrueCrime #DAHochman #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman isn't buying the Menendez brothers' version of events. He's made it clear: they're not getting out of prison on his watch. Standing before the press, Hochman didn't mince words. The self-defense claim? A lie. The supposed rehabilitation? Not enough. His office is officially opposing resentencing for Lyle and Erik Menendez, who are serving life without parole for the 1989 murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. Hochman's argument is simple: the brothers have spent the last 30 years weaving a story that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. They say they were terrified of their father, that years of sexual abuse led them to kill out of fear. But Hochman, after poring over trial transcripts, prison records, and testimony, says that's just not true. He points to the undeniable premeditation—how they drove to San Diego days before the murders to buy shotguns with a fake ID, how they planned an alibi by buying movie tickets, and how, after unloading their weapons into their parents, they shot them again in the kneecaps to stage a gang hit. They even picked up the shotgun shells and dumped their bloody clothes and weapons. None of that screams "panic." It screams "plan." When the police started digging, the brothers initially played innocent, pushing a theory that their parents were killed by the Mafia. That held up until Erik confessed to his therapist—an admission that eventually made its way into the hands of investigators. Only then did their story change. Suddenly, it was self-defense. And as Hochman laid out, they were willing to go to great lengths to sell it. At one point, Lyle allegedly tried to convince his girlfriend to lie under oath, saying Jose had drugged and raped her.

Robert F. Kennedy: The Life, Assassination, and Conspiracies In this 3 part compilation, explore the life, assassination, and the many unanswered questions surrounding one of America's most tragic political murders — Robert F. Kennedy.Begin by walking through RFK's incredible life story, from his early years as part of America's most famous political dynasty, to serving as Attorney General under his brother, President John F. Kennedy, and later as a U.S. Senator from New York. Often seen as the “conscience” of the Democratic Party, RFK evolved from a tough political operative into a champion for the poor, minorities, and disenfranchised. His presidential campaign in 1968 became a beacon of hope in a country torn apart by Vietnam, racial strife, and the assassinations of leaders like Martin Luther King Jr.Then take you inside the electric atmosphere of the California Democratic primary, where Kennedy secured a major victory — a critical step toward potentially winning the presidency. His victory speech, delivered to a roaring crowd at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, was filled with hope and momentum. But within minutes of leaving that podium, chaos erupted in the hotel kitchen pantry. In a scene that still haunts the American consciousness, RFK was shot multiple times at close range, collapsing into the arms of his campaign staff as panicked supporters and hotel workers scrambled to help.Through detailed reconstructions of that night — using eyewitness accounts, police reports, and rare audio recordings — we recount the final moments of Kennedy's life, including the eerie calm before the shooting, the first shots fired by Sirhan Sirhan, and the frantic attempts to save Kennedy as he lay mortally wounded. We also explore the political and cultural shockwaves that followed: the grief of a nation, the massive public mourning, and the fear that America's last great hope for unity had been violently extinguished.But this story doesn't stop with the assassination itself — and that's where we take a sharp turn into the mysteries, controversies, and conspiracy theories that have shadowed this case for over five decades.We break down the official narrative of Sirhan Sirhan — a young Palestinian man allegedly motivated by Kennedy's pro-Israel stance. Yet, as we examine the evidence, troubling questions arise:Was Sirhan truly the lone gunman?Why did many witnesses claim to see a mysterious "girl in the polka dot dress" fleeing the scene, exclaiming, “We shot him!”?How do we explain conflicting ballistics reports and autopsy results suggesting RFK was shot from behind — a position Sirhan was never in?Could there have been a second gunman, or was Sirhan hypnotized or manipulated to act as a decoy?We explore the hypnotism theory, which suggests Sirhan may have been under some form of mind control, backed by his own claims of having no memory of the shooting. We also examine evidence that points to possible CIA involvement, as well as theories that link RFK's assassination to broader plots that also targeted his brother, JFK, and Martin Luther King Jr.Additionally, we take a hard look at the investigative failures and cover-ups that followed — from mishandled evidence and lost bullet fragments to ignored witnesses. We discuss why key pieces of evidence were never fully examined, and why this case, like JFK's, continues to fuel suspicion and speculation.By weaving together RFK's life, the tragic night of his assassination, and the many dark theories that persist, this episode seeks to tell the full story — not just of a man, but of a turning point in American history when hope was stolen and trust in government was shaken forever.If you think you know the story of Robert F. Kennedy, think again. This is a deep exploration of the man, the murder, and the mystery that refuses to die.Patreon -- https://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Our Website - www.theconspiracypodcast.com Our Email - info@theconspiracypodcast.com
In this episode, Kris and Adam talk to Dr. John C. Brady II, Ph. D., D. Crim., regarding the recent criminal case of Luigi Mangione, who is charged with the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. Dr. Brady also discusses comparison cases like Sirhan Sirhan. We discuss the factors behind full criminal responsibility, diminished capacities, and the insanity defense. Dr. John C. Brady II, a California-licensed forensic psychologist, is the author of six true crime books in his Bad Actor Series. He is a psychologist and criminologist with a masters and doctorate in criminology from UC Berkeley. He has used both disciplines and his forty-plus years in private practice to discover why ordinary, law-abiding people suddenly begin to engage in criminal acts. In this seventh and most recent book, Psychological DNA, he explains the criminal-psychological drivers that led Sirhan Sirhan to assassinate Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Dr. Brady has diagnosed and treated dissociative, multiple personality cases like Sirhan' s in inpatient hospital and outpatient settings, and served as an expert witness in court proceedings. In his forensic psychology practice, he has worked with various criminal populations having analyzed hundreds of “bad actor” cases, including celebrity offenders.

Jack Ruby: A Review and Reassessment - Part 1 Jack Ruby: A Review and Reassessment - Part 2 Jack Ruby: A Review and Reassessment - Part 3 Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties: O'Neill, Tom, Piepenbring, Dan: Order Here Mind Games: The Assassination of John Lennon: Whelan, David: Order Here Len shows his appreciation to Max & other researchers who put out good work. Reading Chaos by Tom O'Neill became inspiration for Max's deep dig into the Jack Ruby case. Max found it highly suspect that the MK ULTRA psychiatrist Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West was involved. When West died, he left thousands of papers that were donated & archived at UCLA. O'Neill was able to view West's documents before they were picked through by UCLA archivists. O'Neill raises the question of MK ULTRA being implemented on Jack Ruby. Was Jack tortured? On a road trip, Max stopped in L.A., spending a day at the UCLA archives to view West's files. Jolly West was performing experiments in the Haight Ashbury during the 'Summer of Love'. Taking 2000+ photos of the documents, Max has been reviewing them over the past couple of years. Jack Ruby has a psychotic break at the same time of West's involvement. Coincidence? Max discovered that West was actually involved in Ruby's case by November 29th, not March 1964! Realizing how significant it was that Jolly West was involved with Ruby, Max pressed on. Len & Max discuss the history & different aspects of MK ULTRA. Len notes that the experiments & participating universities or clinics were funded by Dept. Of Defence. Psychiatrist Bernard Diamond performed experiments on Sirhan Sirhan, hypnotizing him. How could Sirhan Sirhan not remember the events surrounding his involvement in RFK's shooting? Mark David Chapman sat down on the ground & started reading a book after shooting Lennon? Notice how the same doctors are involved in these sensationalist cases, over & over? During WWII the OSS & various armies were experimenting with truth drugs & mind control. Operation Bluebird & Operation Artichoke were the predecessors to MK ULTRA. The mind control programs have not stopped. Note the connections to military You can't count on any governmental agency to do an honest investigation? Governments participate in the planning of these events, the cover ups & neglect to investigate. Oswald's murder was the first televised murder in history. Melvin Belli didn't mention how soon he was involved in Ruby's case! Mere days! Max's intuition & research has lead him to believe Oswald's murder was premeditated. West worked fast from Oklahoma to organize a group of psychiatrists to work on Ruby. Jack hadn't been insane before the shooting of Oswald, or after. He was being manipulated. Tom Howard, Ruby's 1st lawyer was involved in Ruby's case within an hour of Oswald’s shooting. Howard was the first person to public ally state that Ruby wasn't in his right mind.
https://substack.com/@davidwhelan Dave Whelan Youtube channel View Here Len finds "Mind Games: The Assassination of John Lennon" very interesting & disturbing! The truth about John Lennon’s assassination is very sinister & makes Len feel very uncomfortable. Mark David Chapman shot John Lennon, sat down & started reading a book? Odd behaviour! When we were in the recent illegal lock downs, David took on the Lennon researching project. David finds Black Op Radio a great inspiration & appreciates Len's hard work exposing truth. During the Spring of 2020, David was listening to an episode where Jose Perdomo was mentioned. The name Jose Perdomo is also connected to the JFK assassination, intriguing David's curiosity. David started to research Jose Perdomo, the doorman of the Dakota when Lennon was murdered. Fairly quickly David discovered that the two Jose's were not the same individual. People thought the Jose Perdomo at the Dakota was the CIA Cuban in Operation 40. Not so. As he researched, David’s notes started to add up & he decided it was time to publish his research. David needed to know if Perdomo was involved in Lennon's assassination. Was he a collaborator? John Lennon took out a billboard with the message 'War Is Over If You Want It To'. David was 14 when John Lennon was killed, not a major fan, it wasn't a pivotal moment in his youth. Once David saw Oliver Stone's movie 'JFK' in the theatre, came out of the theatre & red pilled! David never considered the John Lennon assassination as a CIA operation, considered the case closed. David was finding many discrepancies with the details surrounding the case, fuelling his curiosity. John & Yoko had been out mixing one of her songs before driving back to their home at the Dakota. There were four people at the crime scene, John, Yoko, Mark & the Dakota doorman, Jose Perdomo. Police reports state John was shot four times in the back as he walked through the Dakota parking lot. Mark believes he shot John in the back four times with a .38. Yoko has never gone into great detail about John's murder, never stating she saw Mark shoot John. Why haven't the authorities ever released the statements made by Jose Perdomo? The only witness left, is Mark David Chapman himself. What does he remember? David reached out to the surgeon & nurses who treated John Lennon at the Roosevelt Hospital. Dr. Stephen Lynn tried to deceive the public, stating he'd been the one operating on John. Lies. Dr. David Halleran was the surgeon that treated John Lennon, not Lynn. Dr. Hallernan & nurses confirm that John Lennon was shot four times in chest, 3 exit holes in the back. A professional must have performed the assassination as bullets were in a tight, professional grouping. There were ER reports & a stick figure drawing of John's wounds, however these went missing. Now when Len thinks of Mark David Chapman, he thinks of Sirhan Sirhan. It's the same situation. Why do doctors & nurses have different accounts than the media as to what had happened to John? Lead detective Ron Hoffman admits to doing a shoddy investigating, giving his files to Whelan. Journalists were reporting that there were rumours of a second shooter! How did John get from the driveway, into the back office, where he was found face down by the police. Mark wasn't a big fan of The Beatles, claims that he was obsessed are lies, he liked alternative rock. At the age of 16, Mark got into LSD. Who was his source? Mark went from stoner music guy, to a religious zealot within a matter of weeks. Mark became surrounded by a Southern Baptist group with military intelligence connections. Mark was hypnotized & gas lit to make him feel as if he was possessed by demons! Mark had a stint working at the YMCA in 1975 where he was sent to Lebanon during wartime. In 1977, Mark unexpectedly moved to Honolulu, Hawaii,

Revelations of Bobby's recent sex scandal along with his bizarre beliefs and humiliating antics was said to break the fabled Ethel's heart even as the rest of the Kennedy clan turned against him, family insiders revealed. As RadarOnline.com previously reported, RFK Jr.'s ill-fated third-party 2024 presidential candidacy, news he had dumped a dead bear in New York's Central Park, his revelation he had worms in his brain, and his unfathomable support for the parole of his father's assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, all sparked public condemnation from members of the Kennedy clan, especially after the married rogue was caught in a new sex scandal involving a prominent female reporter. "While Ethel blamed [her late husband] Bobby and [brother-in-law] Jack for setting bad examples with their womanizing, she still felt responsible for Junior's conduct. Tragically, Ethel suffered a stroke in her sleep on October 3, following the height of RFK Jr.'s sex scandal and roughly a month after the former Democrat shockingly endorsed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, a man whose immigration policies had driven Ethel to go on a hunger strike in protest.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hypnosis expert Harvard Medical School professor Daniel P. Brown concluded that Sirhan did not act under his own volition and knowledge at the time of the shooting. He was a real ‘Manchurian Candidate'” -Wikipedia.Sirhan was always in front of Senator Kennedy, whose autopsy showed he was shot from behind with the gun very close, a couple of inches away.

Dr. John Brady is a forensic psychologist who for 25 years has spent hours analyzing why individuals commit heinous crimes, providing testimony in numerous criminal cases, and writing six books taken directly from his professional clinical work and court records. Having worked with some of the nation's top defense attorneys, prosecutors, private investigators, judges and even perpetrators themselves, Dr. Brady holds that powerbrokers in some of the most prosperous communities often work to hide the evil lurking within some of the biggest work hubs, endangering the public by withholding information. Dr. Brady, who has written about why wealthy women shoplift to why individuals commit horrific mass-murders, can explain the step-by-step journey taken in the perpetrators' unconscious journey into darkness. Dr. Brady's most recent book is a psychological re-examination of Sirhan Sirhan, the convicted murderer of Robert F. Kennedy. With extensive detail, Dr. Brady uses a criminal mind-tracking method to map out the offender's past and the likelihood of their future criminal activity. In the case of Sirhan, Dr. Brady shows why advances in psychiatric medicine may have convinced a jury to convict Sirhan of second-degree murder, instead of a conviction that held the death penalty.

EPISODE #1085 INSIDE THE MIND OF SIRHAN SIRHAN Richard speaks with a forensic psychologist about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in July 1968 and to attempt to step inside the mind of RFK's supposed killer, Sirhan Sirhan. Dr. Brady uses modern criminological methods and new psychological assessment tools not available five decades ago to reassess Sirhan's mental state arriving at five current mental conditions that, in his opinion, if presented at trial could have changed the jury' s verdict and spared Sirhan a trip to San Q GUEST: Dr. John C. Brady provided psychological services to hundreds of accused clients, some who were falsely accused, while working with 50-or-so top criminal defense attorneys in California. His preparation of cases included comprehensive psychological-testing evaluations and court testimony.

Lisa Pease - A Lie too Big To fail - The Real history of the assassination of Robert F. KennedyMar 26, 2023June 5th 1968 and Robert F. Kennedy is leaving the stage at the Ambassador Hotel and making his way through the kitchens to his waiting transport.He never made it. On June 5, 1968, shortly after midnight, Robert F. Kennedy was shot by Sirhan Sirhan at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.He was pronounced dead at 1:44 a.m. PDT the following day. Kennedy was a senator from New York and a candidate in the 1968 Democratic Party presidential primaries.On June 4, 1968, he won the California and South Dakota primary elections.But what was the truth of the matter; controversy has swirled around the killing almost to the same proportions of his brothers' five years previously.Lisa Pease has been unearthing the odd and the suspicious and has some surprising connections to talk about.Bio from Spartacus Educational;Lisa Pease, a lifelong information activist, became a researcher while trying to win arguments on the Internet about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. She found that her arguments were more persuasive when she backed them up with cold, hard data. Before she knew it, she had accumulated a massive library of books (including a full 26-volume set of Warren Commission Report), recordings, clippings and documents on these cases. When she discovered that the Los Angeles Police Department's records of the Robert Kennedy assassination were available at her local library, she spent many lunch hours, nights and weekends pouring through the files on microfilm to research that bizarre case.Twitter Lisa PeaseBook A Lie Too Big to Fail: The Real History of the Assassination of Robert F.

American Heart of Darkness: Volume I:The Transformation of the American Republic into a PathocracyJan 3, 2021These days, most Americans know that the country has serious problems. Problems that will have to be addressed before the country can move forward. What are these problems? Where did they come from? Before we can move forward we have to know where we are and how we got there.American Heart of Darkness paints an unvarnished picture of the seeds of destruction that were sown into the foundations of the Republic from the very beginning. How did slavery come about in the land of the free? How did a pre-Columbian native population, in North America alone, of over eighteen million (yes, you heard it right) native peoples dwindle down to about two hundred thousand? Was it really Small Pox? Why has a people who constantly talk about freedom, democracy, equality, human rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness continually practiced racism, genocide, and war? How do drugs come into the country, and who is really behind the most profitable product sold in the world? There are also other unanswered questions that need to be explored:Why were thousands of the worst Nazi war criminals given refuge in the U.S.?Who financed Hitler?Where did Hitler get his master race and genocidal ideas from?Was Lee Harvey Oswald a C.I.A. agent?Were Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVey, and the Peoples Temple all mind control, MKULTRA, subjects?What really happened in the Jeffery MacDonald, so-called Fatal Vision case?How does hundreds of billions of dollars come into the United States every year without detection?The answers to these questions, and many more, will surprise you! They are not in the History books, although they should be. American Heart of Darkness, Volume I, explores the ugly side of America that has been hidden for far too long, and it is literally killing us. This book is not for the reader looking for an uplifting story to escape everyday life for a few hours. It is for true patriots who are sick and tired of being lied to and stolen from. It is for those who know they need to do something but do not know where to start. It is for those who feel powerless and that Americas problems are far too big for little ol me to handle. It is for those with the courage to go from darkness to light. As comedian and activist Dick Gregory once said, If you been in the DARK for so long, LIGHT will hurt your eyes. This book will hurt your eyes. The reader will be shocked, then angry, then motivated, and finally, in the authors next two books, empowered and liberated. It is better to see where we are and where we need to go, right now, before it is too late.Congratulations! If you have read this far this book is probably for you. Please keep in mind the universal truth that with any form of government, the leaders only have the power that the people allow them have. This was true in India when a little skinny guy named Gandhi with no money and only a rag wrapped around his middle took on the British Empire, and won! There is no question that the American people have the power to reclaim a government that is clearly not being run for them. We have to empower ourselves to take this government back from only a handful of selfish and greedy individuals, who have proven that they only care about making more and more money. Let us all stop giving them the power that belongs to us. Reading this book is a beginning, and then we will talk about what to do about it in the authors next two books!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

William Pepper is an international civil and human rights attorney based in New York best known for representing Martin Luther King's accused assassin, James Earl Ray. In 1967, Dr. King had reached out to Dr. Pepper regarding an essay he had written for Ramparts magazine concerning Vietnamese victims of American napalm missions. He was present at Dr. King's famous Riverside Church speech. William was the citizens chairman for Robert Kennedy's run for the Senate in Westchester Country and also a counsel for Robert Kennedy's assassin Sirhan Sirhan arguing for a second shooter. William received undergraduate and graduate degrees from Columbia, a doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts, a Juris Doctoral degree from Boston College and also studied at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His book -- “The Plot to Kill King: The Truth Behind the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr” was the result of 39 years of research and gathering of documentation and sworn testimonies on new confirmed information that will revise the history behind the assassination of Dr. King .
This Day in Legal History: Sirhan Sirhan Sentenced to DeathOn this day in legal history, April 23, 1969, Sirhan Sirhan was sentenced to death for the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, a pivotal moment in American political and legal narratives. Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian immigrant, was convicted of murdering Kennedy on June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California, immediately following Kennedy's victory in the California Democratic presidential primary. Kennedy's assassination marked a profound loss, sending shockwaves across the nation and profoundly affecting its political landscape.Sirhan's trial was a high-profile case, filled with emotional testimonies and global attention. Initially sentenced to death, Sirhan's sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment in 1972 following the California Supreme Court's decision to invalidate all pending death sentences imposed prior to 1972 due to the unconstitutionality of the death penalty statutes.Over the years, Sirhan's case continued to evolve with numerous appeals and parole hearings. In 1998, his attorney, Larry Teeter, claimed that Sirhan did not commit the crime, suggesting that Sirhan was hypnotically programmed to fire shots as a diversion for the real assassin and was a victim of a larger conspiracy. Teeter's assertions fueled ongoing debates and conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy's assassination, though they did not lead to a new trial or exoneration.Despite these controversies, Sirhan has been denied parole multiple times, with the most recent denial occurring in March 2023. The parole board's decision underscored ongoing concerns about the severity of the crime and its impact on American society. Each hearing brought renewed attention to the complexities of the case, including arguments regarding Sirhan's remorse, rehabilitation efforts, and the enduring pain felt by the Kennedy family and their unequivocal opposition to his release.Sirhan Sirhan's ongoing incarceration and the legal proceedings surrounding his case serve as a stark reminder of the lasting implications of political violence and the deep scars it leaves on a nation's collective memory. His story remains a significant chapter in the annals of American legal and political history, reflecting the tensions and traumas of a tumultuous era.Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, as a key promoter of President Biden's climate and economic initiatives, has been actively engaging with industry leaders and workers across the U.S., underscoring the administration's commitment to fostering a clean energy transition that promises high-quality union jobs and rejuvenates manufacturing sectors. Her frequent visits to various energy-related sites and promotional events serve to illustrate the Department of Energy's extensive influence and its capacity to distribute substantial funding, derived mainly from the bipartisan infrastructure law of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Recently, Granholm used the setting of Butler Works, a steel plant in Pennsylvania, to emphasize the government's efforts to sustain the steel industry, noting the plant's significant role in producing steel used nationwide.Butler Works, operated by Cleveland Cliffs Inc., benefits directly from the Biden administration's policies, such as the newly established standards for energy-efficient transformers and substantial grant funding aimed at reducing emissions. Granholm's visit highlighted the broader industrial strategy to make domestic manufacturing more appealing and competitive globally. This strategy also seeks to reverse the offshoring trends that have historically weakened U.S. manufacturing, aiming to reclaim jobs and production capabilities lost to countries like China.The timing of her visit aligns with a week of Earth Day-themed activities, emphasizing the administration's focus on enhancing the U.S. power grid and promoting local production of renewable energy components. This push towards revitalizing manufacturing in regions like Western Pennsylvania, a critical electoral battleground, is part of a larger effort to garner political support through economic revitalization. Cleveland-Cliffs, a major player in the steel industry, has been pivotal in this initiative, gearing up to meet the expected surge in demand for materials essential for a rapidly expanding U.S. power grid.A significant development for Butler Works came with the Department of Energy's decision to modify an earlier proposal that would have phased out the production of a specific type of steel used in transformers, responding to industry pushback and bipartisan political pressure. This decision not only secures jobs at the plant but also addresses concerns about potential shortages in the utility sector, highlighting the administration's receptiveness to industry feedback.However, this regulatory decision has drawn criticism from energy efficiency advocates who argue that it compromises potential energy savings. Granholm defended the final rule as a balanced approach, illustrating a government process responsive to stakeholder input while striving to achieve both environmental and economic objectives. This incident underscores the complex interplay between advancing environmental goals and maintaining industrial viability in the face of evolving energy needs and political pressures.Green Steel Jobs Multiply With Biden Energy Plan, Granholm SaysThe U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is set to vote on a new rule that would nearly eliminate non-compete clauses, which restrict workers from moving between jobs within the same industry. This decision comes three years after President Joe Biden encouraged the FTC to curb such agreements, which currently impact about 20% of U.S. workers. The proposed rule has garnered support from major labor organizations and Democratic leaders from various states, emphasizing its potential to enhance job mobility and promote fair labor practices.The Chamber of Commerce, the largest business lobby in the nation, has expressed strong opposition to the rule, planning to file a lawsuit immediately after the rule is officially released and voted upon. They argue that the rule is too expansive and could hinder companies from safeguarding their confidential information. Despite this opposition, the rule is likely to pass during the FTC meeting, with a predicted partisan split among the commissioners.The FTC's authority to enact this rule has been contested by the Chamber of Commerce, with their Chief Policy Officer claiming that the FTC lacks congressional approval to regulate aspects of competition in this manner. However, FTC Chair Lina Khan and other Democratic commissioners assert that they do possess the necessary authority, citing historical precedents where the FTC defined unfair competition practices.This upcoming vote and the ensuing legal challenge by the Chamber highlight a significant clash between federal regulatory power and business interests, setting the stage for a pivotal legal and economic debate over the scope of non-compete agreements in the U.S. workforce.FTC to Issue Non-Compete Ban as Chamber Lawsuit LoomsIn New York, Justice Juan Merchan is set to rule on possible violations by former President Donald Trump of a gag order in his ongoing criminal hush money trial. This gag order restricts Trump from making public criticisms of witnesses and others involved in the case. Prosecutors have pointed out Trump's recent derogatory comments about Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen, who are both expected to testify, and his claims about jury bias as instances of violations. They have proposed a fine of $1,000 for each violation, while also highlighting the potential for harsher penalties, including jail time, if Trump continues to breach the order.Trump, charged with falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to prevent her from disclosing a purported encounter, has pleaded not guilty and denied the encounter occurred. Prosecutors argue that this payment was part of a broader scheme to suppress damaging information during the election campaign, labeling it as "election fraud."During the trial, Trump's defense has maintained his innocence, asserting that his actions were meant to protect his family and reputation, and accused Daniels of exploiting the situation for profit. Meanwhile, further testimony is expected from David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, regarding his involvement in a "catch and kill" strategy to aid Trump's campaign by suppressing negative stories.American Media, Pecker's company, admitted to paying for stories about Trump's alleged affairs, including a substantial payment to Karen McDougal, which it never published. These actions were purportedly coordinated with Trump's campaign efforts.The outcome of this trial, one of several criminal cases against Trump, could significantly impact his chances in the upcoming presidential election, where he is set to face Joe Biden. Polls indicate that a conviction could deter a significant portion of independent and Republican voters.Judge to consider gag order violations in Trump hush money trial | ReutersIn my latest contribution in Forbes, I delve into the Biden administration's Fiscal Year 2025 budget proposal, which includes a pivotal excise tax on private space companies like SpaceX. This tax is primarily aimed at covering the logistical costs incurred by air traffic control during rocket launches, an increasingly frequent event given the surge in private satellite deployments over the past decade. This move isn't just about generating revenue; it's a strategic step towards addressing the burgeoning issue of low-Earth orbit congestion.While this initial tax focuses on immediate air traffic control expenses, it paves the way for broader, more comprehensive space tax policies. The concept of a "space property tax" is introduced as a mechanism to internalize the external costs of satellite deployments. This tax would vary based on several factors including the size of the satellite, its operational lifespan, and its planned end-of-life disposal. The objective is to ensure that the costs associated with occupying space are fully accounted for and that satellite operators are motivated to utilize space responsibly and sustainably.Drawing parallels with terrestrial property taxes, which discourage unproductive land use, a space property tax would similarly encourage satellite operators to optimize the productivity of their satellites and the space they occupy. Such a tax would not only cover the use of space but also contribute to a fund dedicated to addressing future space-related issues, including debris mitigation.The global nature of space activities necessitates international cooperation and cohesive policymaking. The existing international agreements, such as the Outer Space Treaty, provide a foundational framework, but as satellite numbers grow, these policies will need to evolve. International collaboration will be crucial in creating a fair and effective space tax system, ensuring that all countries share the responsibilities and benefits of space utilization.As we continue to explore and utilize space, we must learn from our historical treatment of Earth's resources. By adopting a proactive and sustainable approach to space exploration, we can prevent the overexploitation of this critical frontier. This shift is not just about compliance but about ensuring the long-term viability of space for future generations.Forbes - Do We Need A Property Tax For Space?In my column this week, I explore an innovative approach to combating sales suppression through the introduction of a "Tax Lottery." This idea addresses the complexities introduced by remote cashiers and offshore payment processing, which are increasingly common in industries such as New York's restaurant sector. With remote cashiers based in distant locations like the Philippines, traditional auditing methods become challenging as tax authorities struggle to access accurate transaction logs.The core issue here is the invisibility of remote transactions to local tax authorities, a problem exacerbated when transactions are processed offsite or even offshore. The difficulty in obtaining transaction records makes it easy for businesses to suppress sales tax, a potential boon to their profits but a serious threat to tax compliance.To counter this, I propose a system where customers are incentivized to scan and submit their receipts immediately after purchases by entering a lottery. This could be integrated with existing state-run lotteries or through a separate prize fund created from the revenue gained from enhanced compliance. Such measures have been adopted in various countries with mixed results, yet they offer a promising solution to ensure transparency in transactions.By encouraging consumers to maintain a "shadow record" of their purchases, we create an independent verification of sales transactions that tax authorities can rely on. This method effectively turns every customer into a potential auditor, drastically reducing the likelihood of sales suppression by business owners.The success of such a system depends on the degree of sales suppression already occurring and the overall tax evasion culture within a state. While sophisticated evaders might still find ways around such measures, the general populace, driven by the incentive of potentially winning a prize, might become a formidable force in ensuring tax compliance.Moreover, the Tax Lottery system leverages the fact that while businesses might risk suppressing some transactions, they cannot predict which transactions customers will choose to report via their receipts. This uncertainty forces businesses to record all transactions faithfully, lest they face the consequences of an audit triggered by customer-submitted data.However, the effectiveness of this system hinges on balancing the penalties for non-compliance with the allure of the lottery rewards. The challenge lies in setting these parameters to optimize compliance without overwhelming businesses or consumers.Ultimately, appealing to the financial interests of consumers could be a powerful strategy against the potential rise in fraud, especially as remote cashier systems become more prevalent. As tax authorities seek innovative solutions to modern challenges, the Tax Lottery presents a potentially transformative approach to ensuring transparency and compliance in an increasingly digital economy.‘Tax Lottery' Would Help Abate Remote Cashier Auditing Nightmare Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
This Day in Legal History: Sirhan Sirhan ConvictedOn this day in legal history, April 17, 1969, Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of one of the most high-profile crimes of the 20th century—the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy, a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, was shot on June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, shortly after delivering his victory speech in the California primary elections. Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian immigrant, was apprehended at the scene.The trial of Sirhan was a watershed moment in American legal and political history. It highlighted the growing tensions in the United States and the world over issues like the Vietnam War and the Middle East conflict. Sirhan's defense team attempted to argue diminished capacity, claiming that Sirhan was mentally unstable at the time of the shooting. They presented evidence suggesting that Sirhan was psychologically unable to cope with his intense feelings of anger and alienation, stemming primarily from his strong objections to Kennedy's pro-Israeli views.Despite these arguments, the jury found Sirhan guilty of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to death. However, his sentence would not be carried out. In 1972, the Supreme Court of California effectively overturned the death penalty in the state, ruling it unconstitutional, which automatically commuted the death sentences of all death row inmates, including Sirhan, to life imprisonment.Sirhan's case continued to evoke debates about political violence, justice, and capital punishment. The commutation of his death sentence to life imprisonment came during a period of intense scrutiny and reevaluation of the death penalty in the United States, reflecting broader societal shifts. His continued imprisonment has been punctuated by numerous parole hearings, during which the severity of his crime is re-examined alongside his behavior and reform while in custody.Sirhan Sirhan's conviction and subsequent legal journey through the penal system serve as a grim reminder of the turbulent times during the late 1960s in the United States and represent a significant chapter in the nation's legal history. The assassination and the trial that followed had a lasting impact on American legal practices and the political landscape, highlighting the intersection of mental health issues and the criminal justice system.A recent legal battle ended with a $101 million jury verdict against Walmart Inc. in favor of London Luxury, a textile vendor. The verdict was reached in Arkansas, close to Walmart's headquarters, concerning a breached contract for over $500 million in personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The case was represented by the Manhattan litigation boutique Holwell Shuster & Goldberg (HSG), which took over after London Luxury parted ways with two larger law firms. This lawsuit received financial backing from Bench Walk Advisors, who invested over $5.1 million in the case among other suits.Walmart, represented by Jones Day and at least two other firms, has expressed disagreement with the jury's decision and is considering an appeal. The spokesperson from Walmart claimed that the verdict was not supported by evidence and emphasized the company's commitment to fair business practices.The litigation was originally filed in Westchester, New York, early 2022 but was moved to federal court in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The decision followed a 10-day jury trial. HSG, known for handling significant cases on contingency and alternative fee arrangements, benefitted from external funding which is becoming a common strategy among plaintiff-side lawyers to manage litigation costs.Litigation finance, a growing $15.2 billion industry, involves investors funding lawsuits in exchange for a portion of any financial awards. Bench Walk's investment in the Walmart case was aimed at covering trial costs, highlighting the evolving dynamics and risks associated with such financial strategies in litigation.Walmart's $101 Million Loss Is Win for Firm, Funder Behind SuitUS Senator Bob Menendez is set to present a defense strategy in his bribery trial that involves distancing himself from actions potentially taken by his wife, Nadine Menendez, according to newly unsealed court documents. The couple is accused of accepting various bribes, including cash, gold bars, and a car, in exchange for facilitating business and governmental interests. The documents reveal that Senator Menendez might testify that he was unaware of the true nature of the gifts, suggesting that his wife withheld information from him which led him to believe nothing unlawful was occurring.This defense strategy emerged during a legal request for separate trials for the senator and his wife, indicating a significant shift from their previously united front. The judge granted this request after Nadine Menendez needed to undergo surgery, leading to separate trial dates for the senator and his wife. The trial for Senator Menendez and two businessmen is set for May 6, while Nadine Menendez's trial is scheduled for July 8.The case also involves allegations that Senator Menendez acted as a foreign agent for Egypt, further complicating the charges against him. The decision to potentially expose confidential marital communications during the trial highlights the complex dynamics of the legal strategy and the personal stakes involved. The Menendez legal team's move to request separate trials underscores the challenges of defending a joint case while maintaining marital privileges and the strategic legal positioning that may influence the outcomes of their respective trials.Bob Menendez Poised to Blame His Wife in Bribery Case DefenseMichael Cohen, former attorney and fixer for Donald Trump, has shifted from a loyal supporter to a key witness in the first criminal trial of a U.S. president. The trial, which began recently in New York, revolves around allegations that Trump concealed payments made to the porn star Stormy Daniels to maintain her silence about a past sexual encounter. Cohen, who facilitated a $130,000 payment to Daniels prior to the 2016 election, claims Trump directed these actions. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges, dismissing the allegations and labeling Cohen a "serial liar."This is not Cohen's first testimony against Trump; he has previously testified in a civil fraud trial concerning the Trump Organization's asset valuations. In that trial, Cohen admitted to manipulating property values on Trump's directive, which resulted in Trump being ordered to pay $454 million in penalties and interest. Furthermore, Cohen's history includes a three-year prison sentence for this payment and other offenses, including tax fraud and lying under oath about the Trump Organization's Russian business dealings.Cohen's role in Trump's legal saga underscores a dramatic transformation from a close presidential confidant to an outspoken critic, a change catalyzed by federal investigations into his activities. Despite his controversial past, including admitting to lying during legal proceedings, Cohen's insights are central to the prosecution's case. His involvement illustrates the complex dynamics and potential risks in relying on testimony from figures with compromised credibility. The outcome of this trial could have significant legal and political ramifications, reflecting Cohen's intricate and troubled relationship with the former president.Trump's ex-fixer Michael Cohen to be key witness in hush money criminal trial | ReutersMy column this week discusses the importance and implications of introducing an open-source tax credit for software developers. Open-source software, valued at $8.8 trillion, is fundamental to both private and governmental technology systems. These projects often start as hobbyist pursuits by individual developers and require long-term maintenance from a broader community, which currently lacks sufficient incentives. The proposed tax credit would allow developers to deduct expenses related to their voluntary contributions to open-source projects, including a portion of the time they dedicate, aiming to motivate broader participation and enhance project oversight.The idea of such a tax credit is not new, having been previously proposed at the state level. However, economic reliance on open-source software has only increased, highlighted by incidents like the XZ security breach, which underscore the risks of exploiting these resources without adequate compensation to the contributors. The proposed tax credit, potentially worth up to $2,000, would recognize the contributions of developers by helping to offset their financial costs, thus encouraging more significant investment in the security and enhancement of open-source projects.The broader impact of the tax credit includes not only financial benefits for developers but also societal acknowledgment of the value of their contributions, akin to charitable efforts in other professional fields. This recognition could help alleviate financial barriers and align developers' interests with wider societal benefits, promoting a more robust and secure open-source software ecosystem.However, implementing such a credit faces challenges, particularly in quantifying individual contributions and valuing developers' labor. In the column I suggest using the mean hourly wage for software developers as a baseline for these calculations and stresses the importance of designing this policy with inputs from various stakeholders to mitigate risks like fraud.Modern tools like GitHub and GitLab provide traceable records of contributions, making it feasible to verify and quantify individual efforts within open-source projects. This proposed tax credit aims to correct a significant oversight in our technological infrastructure, incentivizing valuable contributions that enhance the security and viability of open-source software in an increasingly digital world.Open-Source Tax Credit Would Better Compensate Tech Developers Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
The Journey Podcast 150. Dr. John Brady: A Deep Dive into the Mind of Sirhan Sirhan Publisher Kris Millegan speaks with Dr. John Brady, a licensed forensic psychologist, true crime writer, Doctor of Criminology, and celebrity analyst. His upcoming book is PSYCHOLOGICAL DNA: A Cold Case Analysis of Who Killed Robert F. Kennedy, being released June 5, 2024. Using modern criminological methods and new psychological assessment tools not available five decades ago, Dr. Brady has reassessed Sirhan' s mental state and arrived at five mental conditions that, in his opinion, if presented at trial could have changed the jury' s verdict and spared Sirhan five and a half decades in prison. John wrote an earlier book, KLEPT0 BISMO: Big Pharma, Shoplifting and Psychiatric Deception, about the people, though well off, even wealthy, who had been arrested for shoplifting. They were all on psychiatric drugs for things like anxiety and depression. The point is made that the US is 4% of the world's population, but we consume 60% of all medications, and half of those are psychoactive drugs used to treat anxiety and other conditions. Many of the thieves referred to him for treatment had been in state institutions, where, they said, psychoactive drugs were more available than on the street. In US correctional institutions, the states spend $9 billion dollars on psychiatric drugs to manage and control inmate populations. These drugs may help some people in the short-term. But in the long run they may precipitate unwanted behaviors such as crime; for instance, nine out of ten mass shooters had been prescribed some form of psychiatric medication for things like anxiety or depression. When a grad student, John's major professor was Bernard Diamond, chief psychiatrist for Sirhan Sirhan's defense team, who would conduct seminars on the defense team's strategies, introducing John to the case very early. His interest was percolated recently due to articles concerning whether Sirhan actually killed Robert F. Kennedy. John's focus is on the psychological aspects of Sirhan's personality. During Sirhan's trial, there was no unanimity of diagnosis among the ten doctors who examined him. They tried to label him as paranoid schizophrenic, but later it was established that he had none of the symptoms associated with that. Thinking that something was missing, John researched what was said at the trial, what the diagnoses were at the time, and why the case was mishandled in terms of coming up with a true diagnosis. John found that Sirhan had five conditions that were not diagnosed at the trial. Sirhan, John diagnoses, had two distinct personalities, one pretty good and one pretty bad, and the bad one committed the murder unbeknownst to the good personality; Sirhan formed the bad personality early in life to preserve himself from the trauma he experienced when he was in Palestine, when there was murder and mayhem all around him. This personality became the evil Sirhan as opposed to the benevolent or ordinary Sirhan. Kris and John also discuss the girl in the polka dot dress, the overwhelming evidence of multiple shooters in the pantry, the seeming consensus among researchers that security guard Thane Eugene Cesar next to and behind RFK shot him, the evidence that Sirhan was a mind-controlled patsy with no intent to harm anyone, and Lee Harvey Oswald, Charles Whitman (the Texas Tower shooter), and Mark David Chapman (John Lennon's alleged shooter). #TrineDay #TrineDayPublishing #PsychologicalDNA #WhoKilledRobertFKennedy #SirhanSirhan #MKUltraMindControl #ManchurianCandidate #MindControlledPatsy #JohnFKennedy #LeeHarveyOswald #MarkDavidChapman #JohnLennon
Over more than half a century as a writer for the London Daily Express and the Times of London, British-born Ivor Davis covered major stories in North America. He penned a weekly entertainment column for the New York Times Syndicate for over 15 years, interviewing some of the biggest names in show business, from Cary Grant to Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton to Tom Cruise and Muhammad Ali. In 1962 he was smuggled onto the campus of the riot-torn University of Mississippi when James Meredith became the first black student to be enrolled --accompanied by 127 --yes 127-- US attorneys--Days of rioting followed with two killed--including one foreign journalist. Three years later Davis was in the front lines as Los Angeles' Watts riots erupted. In l964, Davis was the only British daily newspaper correspondent to cover The Beatles' first American tour from start to finish, given unparalleled access to John, Paul, George and Ringo on the road, in their hotel, and during long nights of card and Monopoly games as they talked frankly about their bizarre new life. He also ghosted a regular newspaper column for George Harrison. His first-hand, insider's memoir, the award-winning The Beatles and Me On Tour, 60th Anniversary Book, was published in February. It is a fascinating journey back in time where for the first time he chronicles, frankly and humorously, 34 days with the world's most famous band on the road—at a critical moment in the history of rock. The anniversary edition was published on Feb 9th this year. Davis covered Robert Kennedy's 1968 presidential bid and was in the kitchen in the Ambassador Hotel the night Senator Kennedy was assassinated. He was one of the Boys on the Bus chronicling the life of actor-turned-politician Ronald Reagan, first in his campaign for governor of California, then for president. He was a co-author of the 1969 political book Divided They Stand, which chronicled the Presidential election; and witnessed some of the biggest trials in American history: Sirhan Sirhan, convicted of killing Bobby Kennedy in 1969; black-power militant Angela Davis, acquitted of murder in l972; a year later, Daniel Ellsberg's trial for leaking the Pentagon Papers, and, in 1976, he was in San Francisco to see heiress Patty Hearst convicted of robbery after being kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army. His new true crime book, “The Devil in My Friend: The Inside Story of a Malibu Murder.” It is an account of the famous Eighties trial of Malibu engineer Frederick George Roehler, who was convicted of the murder of his wife and young stepson after an almost year-long trial in the Santa Barbara Courthouse in May l982. The killings took place close by—at Santa Cruz Island. The new book will be published this year on May 7th. https://ivordavisbooks.com/ Connect more: https://www.chonacas.com/podcast/ https://www.instagram.com/shesallovertheplacepodcast/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiechonacas/ I hope you enjoyed the episode, please share with one person!
