  • You mean that "The thin blue line flag" is marched through the streets by #Police pretending to be "White Supremacists"

    The entire "White Supremacy" narrative is nothing more than a fabrication created to DIVIDE AMERICANS, because the #Criminals within our illegitimate "government" want to keep us DIVIDED AND FIGHTING EACH OTHER so that we don't go after THEM for all the little things they do!

    You know....
    Like trying to #Murder us all with a #Genocide JAB
    Brainwashing our children and the public in general with LIES
    And trying like hell to start WW3 to further thin the herd

    Our government is chock FULL of Criminals!
    And the POLICE are right at the top of the list!

    There is as many "White Supremacists" in America as there is GOOD COPS!
    In other words... THEY JUST DON'T EXIST!

    Now that is not to say that #Hollywood is not full of #Racists pushing a narrative CLAIMING that "white supremacy" is running rampant....

    And the #Jews who actually control you illegitimate corporate government are most certainly #Racist, but they HATE ALL NON-JEWS, black, white, red, or yellow!

    This flag is an abomination!
    The claim that "white supremacy" even exists in America is also an abomination and a bald faced lie!

    If you DO happen to encounter supposed "White Supremacists" carrying the thin blue line flag, you can rest assured that it's because they are the POLICE, trying to create a snippet for the evening news to LIE about!

    Kinda like those #NAZI flag we seen during the convoy!
    And the people STARTING RIOTS during the lockdowns!
    Every last one of them were agent provocateurs

    ALL were POLICE trying to create a narrative for their evil masters!
    But I do agree.... The Flag is an abomination!
    It is a GANG SYMBOL

    A gang symbol worn by the ENFORCERS of the #Criminal Class in Washington DC

    THIS ARTICLE IS PURE GLOBALIST #PROPAGANDA!

  • CORRUPT JUDGES & WEAPONIZED LEGAL SYSTEM MUST END NOW! Special Guest: Michael Pendleton, Esq.

    Despite the FACT that our entire "government" is an illegitimate #Corporation, operating #Fraudulently under "Maritime Admiralty Law," it's hard to get most people to realize this FACT! If you choose to continue under this corrupt system then you must know....

    The "Grand Jury" belongs to the
    AMERICAN PEOPLE - NOT "government"

    The AMERICAN PEOPLE have every right to enforce the law, even against government #Criminals!

    LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN.....
    THE GRAND JURY BELONGS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!
    As does our corporate "Law Enforcement" (Technically)

    If a grand jury of the AMERICAN PEOPLE hand down a conviction of some government #Criminal, it is the DUTY of every law enforcement agent in the United States to see that the convicted party is both ARRESTED and then put in PRISON!

    And ANY LEO who fails to do his sworn duty
    (TO THE PEOPLE, NOT the Corporation) he needs to be FIRED first of all.... And then PROSECUTED and sent to prison himself!

    Because what we currently have is a standing "Foreign ARMY" on US Soil", and just because they claim themselves to be "Police" and "Sheriffs" it does NOT change this FACT!

    They are currently serving at the pleasure of CRIMINALS, and not the American People, as their oath REQUIRES them to do

    The real issue in this country is #Corrupt #LawEnforcement who do not do not uphold their #Oath of office AND view the American People as their ENEMY, instead of AS THEIR BOSSES, The way it truly is!

    Of course some prison time can be handed to THEM as well!
    And this would be cured real friggin quick!

    And as far as "Lifetime appointments" of #Judges goes...
    THEY SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF THE PEOPLE AS WELL!

    The American PEOPLE are the bosses here folks! NO LAW or any "tradition" or "Constitution" or "Legal System" can change that FACT!

    If THE PEOPLE want these MF's removed, then THEY ARE GONE!
    THE PEOPLE are the deciding vote in ANY SITUATION!

    And it is high time that we reclaim our position as the
    FINAL DECISION MAKERS! (In ANY decision)

    THE PEOPLE have "Veto Power" over ANY "government" law or decision! After all, these people (supposedly) work for US!

    Just like government secrecy, and their constant, criminal, claim of "National Security" where they refuse to show THE PEOPLE (Their BOSSES) what they are doing!

    It does NOT work that way folks! EMPLOYEES are not allowed to keep secrets about their activities from THE PEOPLE who employee them!

    I mean they can TRY..... But the corrective action for this is to FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY every time they try it! Living under TYRANT SCUM who operates in secrecy, and IN YOUR NAME is unacceptable!!!

    The problem is really YOU!
    Your lack of holding these scumbags accountable has led us here!
    And it's time to take corrective action on that front RIGHT NOW!

    Your supposed "government" employees JUST TRIED TO MURDER YOU!

    I would have to say that it's time to re-evaluate their employment, as well as their ability to continue sucking wind!

    Every last one responsible for this attempt, at the very least, should die in prison!

    The "government" has grown this corrupt and #Evil because YOU allowed them to!

    It's 110% OUR FAULT!
    Now is the time to ADMIT OUR FAILURE, and take immediate corrective actions

    "Begging our own EMPLOYEES to uphold the law and to be accountable" to the PEOPLE who EMPLOYEE THEM is unacceptable! YOU are the BOSS!

    It is time that "government" is let in on that little secret!

  • This ONE WORD Can Send You To Jail In The USA!

    Let's be honest here....
    You can BS your friends, and I'll BS mine, but in a country where #Police
    are NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR #CRIMINAL ACTIONS, you can go to jail for ANYTHING at ANY TIME!

    It matters not if it's "legal" or illegal...
    Because the criminal cop will never be jailed for his crimes,
    so WHY NOT COMMIT THEM?

    WHY NOT unlawfully arrest EVERY AMERICAN???
    There will be NO ACCOUNTABILITY, no criminal charges, and no financial penalty!

    The Police actually have an INCENTIVE to break the law...
    Which is "I won't be punished for it, so WHY NOT?"

    These scumbags should die in a jail cell....
    But instead they'll continue locking innocent Americans in cages

    And will NEVER be held accountable!

    So "What the court rules" is irreverent
    They don't follow the law... and "the courts" don't uphold the law!

    The ONLY THING that you can count on is that Police are ABOVE THE LAW
    just like the black robed priests of the #BAR and Politicians!

    ONLY YOU are subjected to these "laws"
    which are really just CORPORATE POLICIES ( Statutes and Codes )
    It's a JOKE!

    Our "Court System" is worse than a banana republic!
    Calling them a banana republic is an insult to banana republics everywhere!

  • Insurer Properly Sanctioned for Failure to Obey Court Order

    It is Never Proper to Fail to Comply With Court Order

    Post 4937

    Insurer Privilege Underwriters took its name too far trying to obtain privileges from the Arkansas Court of Appeals to which it was not entitled and acted contumaciously by disobeying the Circuit Court’s discovery order.

    In Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange v. Brandon Adams, No. CV-23-474, 2024 Ark.App. 571, Court of Appeals of Arkansas, Division I (November 20, 2024) the circuit court granted appellee Brandon Adams’s motion to enforce court order and motion for sanctions, imposed a “sanction fee in the amount of $5,000” against appellant Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange (“Privilege”), and awarded Adams $2,500 in attorneys’ fees and costs under Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure 37; denied Privilege’s motion for summary judgment; and denied Privilege’s motion for protective order, which sought to bar Adams from taking any depositions.

    FACTS

    In an insurance-coverage action in which Adams sued Privilege, his insurer, for failing to provide him a defense in a lawsuit filed against Adams and several other individuals and entities. Privilege answered Adams’s coverage complaint denying that it owed Adams a duty to defend the lawsuit and asserting a number of the subject policies’ exclusions as affirmative defenses to coverage.

    Adams served written discovery on Privilege. Privilege responded with objections and inadequate responses to Adams’s discovery requests. Adams moved to compel Privilege to respond and produce documents and the Court of Appeals ordered Privilege respond and to pay Adams’s attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $2,000.

    Privilege produced its supplemental interrogatory answers and supplemental privilege log on March 2, 2022 but did not comply with the circuit court’s discovery order.

    Contrary to the court’s order Privilege refused to amend its privilege log, provide full and complete answers to Adams’s interrogatories, or produce any witnesses for deposition, and instead, Privilege moved for summary judgment.

    Adams then filed his “Motion to Enforce Court Order and Motion for Sanctions and Incorporated Brief” on April 25, 2022.

    On December 20, 2022, the circuit court held a hearing on Adams’s motion for sanctions and Privilege’s motions for summary judgment and for protective order. The circuit court announced that it would sanction Privilege for its failure to comply with the circuit court’s February 2022 discovery order. From the bench, the circuit court made specific findings that Privilege had failed to comply with the provisions of that order requiring Privilege to amend its privilege log to provide sufficient information to allow the circuit court and Adams to evaluate Privilege’s claims of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection and to fully answer Adams’s interrogatories.

    TO ESTABLISH CONTEMPT

    Generally, in order to establish contempt, there must be willful disobedience of a valid order of a court. Contempt is a matter between the court and the litigant, and not between the two opposing litigants. Before one can be held in contempt for violating the court’s order, the order must be definite in its terms, clear as to what duties it imposes, and express in its commands. Contempt is divided into criminal contempt and civil contempt. The standard of review on appeal depends on whether the contempt sanction was civil or criminal in nature.

    The circuit court imposed a fine and fees that were to be paid to Adams. A contempt fine for willful disobedience that is payable to the complainant is remedial and therefore constitutes a fine for civil contempt.

    Privilege refused to comply with a valid discovery order from the circuit court because Privilege disputed Adams’s entitlement to the discovery underlying that order. Instead, Privilege moved for summary judgment, attempting to render moot that prior discovery order. The circuit court rightly held Privilege in contempt for its willful disobedience of the circuit court’s February 2022 discovery order and imposed a fine of $5,000. Once the February 2022 discovery order was entered, Privilege was required to comply with that order, not question the propriety of that order or when Privilege should comply with it.

    The circuit court was unequivocal in finding at the December 2022 hearing that it was sanctioning Privilege for its violation of the February 2022 discovery order. The circuit court then went on to explain that Privilege had disobeyed its February 2022 order by failing to provide contact information for the witnesses identified in response to Interrogatory No. 1 and by failing to provide a privilege log with sufficient information to allow the circuit court and Adams to evaluate the claim of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection.

    Thus, the Court of Appeals held that the circuit court did not clearly err in holding Privilege in contempt. The circuit court had ample authority to use its contempt powers to enforce its February 2022 discovery order.

    ZALMA OPINION

    This order must be more than embarrassing to Privilege and to the insurance industry. Parties to litigation are not entitled to refuse to fulfill an order of the court. Regardless of the name of the insurer it had no special privileges and must fulfill the order to the letter and pay the sanctions including the extra sanctions placed by the Court of Appeals.

    Culinary Workers Union (CWU) and their well-being, the rising cost of living in Las Vegas and the increased profitability of the sector in recent years, began the dispute underscores the tension between labor and corporate interests, at major hotel-casinos on the Strip in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Culinary Workers Union (CWU) is a powerful force in the city's hospitality industry, representing over 60,000 workers across various hotel-casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. In recent years, the union has been at the forefront of several labor disputes, highlighting the growing tension between workers and major hotel-casino corporations.

    One of the key issues fueling these disputes is the rising cost of living in Las Vegas. Despite the city's booming tourism industry, many workers in the hospitality sector struggle to afford housing, healthcare, and other basic necessities. The union argues that wages have not kept pace with the increasing cost of living.

  • RICK MIRACLE VIDEO LIBRARY #1084, THE REESE REPORT - THE ZIONIST OCCUPIED GOVERNMENT OF TRUMP 47

    The ONLY #Evil at work in the world today is the #Zionist EVIL being perpetrated by #Israel and the #Jews with the help of the illegitimate corporate "government" of the United States!

    Which is a #Corporation and NOT YOUR "GOVERNMENT"

    These people want to "justify" the cold blooded #Murder of the Palestinians who have never harmed America in any way!

    But Israel???
    Let's see.... We had the #USSLiberty Attack by Israel
    And let's not forget that MOSSAD's "Israeli Art Students" planted at least part of the explosives in the twin towers, and Israel was 100% involved in the murder of those 3,000 Americans, right alongside the CORPORATION of the United States, the Bush Administration in particular

    It's a Luciferian crime spree!
    And it is time that we STOP going along with it!
