Remember Roland Burris?

By Jay Newton-Small | @JNSmall | October 19, 2009 | +

Yup, he’s one of those 60 crucial votes on health care. And like most of his colleagues, he’s got some demands. Gotta love this AP lede:

WASHINGTON – For Democrats determined to get a health care bill, Sen. Roland Burris is like the house guest who couldn’t be refused, won’t soon be leaving and poses a plausible threat of ruining holiday dinner.
Suddenly, he can no longer be ignored.
The Illinois Democrat, appointed by disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, says he’ll only vote for a bill to provide health care to millions more Americans as long as it allows the government to sell insurance in competition with private insurers.
And he says he won’t compromise.
“I would not support a bill that does not have a public option,” Burris, 72, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. “That position will not change.”

    The Phony War: Obama and Romney Are Debating Character, Not Policy

    More than five months from Election Day, the back-and-forth about Mitt Romney’s record at Bain already feels played out. Unfortunately, there’s good reason to expect the campaign continues in this vein indefinitely. Neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney are terribly interested in dwelling on policy platforms. Romney’s plan to slash spending and keep taxes low on the wealthy isn’t especially popular, at least not at any level of detail beyond a blithe promise to shrink the deficit. Meanwhile, Obama’s signature first-term achievements, like health care, the stimulus and Wall Street reform, are all unpopular or tricky to sell. (The Dodd-Frank bill is the most popular of these, but hyping it means offending wealthy donors.) So what we’re getting instead is a superficial duel about character–and, worse, one that’s based on the largely false premise that the better man can better “manage” the economy back to health.

    Among likely Republican primary voters, Palin now trails former Arkansas governor-turned-Fox-TV-host Mike Huckabee by 20 points – 55% to 35%.

    When her opponent is ex-Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Palin loses by 15 – 52% to 37%.

    Oh, no… Now even Republicans think she’s a joke!

    That’s because Burris’ corruption is material, Blanch Lincoln’s corruption is ideological (http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ci.cfm?contentid=2907&kaid=103&subid=111):

    DLC | New Dem Of The Week | January 22, 2001

    .
    New Dem of the Week: Blanche Lincoln
    .
    U.S. Senator, Arkansas
    .
    New Democrat Blanche L. Lincoln of Arkansas made history in November 1998 when, at age 38, she became the youngest woman ever elected to the Senate. She quickly made her mark in the chamber as a founding member of the Senate New Democrat Coalition.
    .
    Now Lincoln has a chance to make history again from her new seat on the pivotal Finance Committee in the evenly divided Senate. There she will be in a position to influence not only tax policy, but critical health matters such as prescription drug coverage and Medicare reform.
    .
    The Finance Committee “is where the most action is,” says Lincoln. “With the number of seniors in this state and with the highest poverty rate among seniors in the country, it was important for the committee to have the kind of perspective we have in Arkansas.”

    Blanche Lincoln is a “founding member” of the Senate New Democrat Coalition, the name of the Senate caucus of the radical, ideological centrist organization the “Democratic Leadership Council” (“DLC”).
    .
    Blanche Lincoln believes in defying her popular constituents in favor of her corporate constituents; it’s her political philosophy –the “Third Way” centrist ideology of the DLC/New Democrats.
    .
    Why, what a coincidence!!
    .
    Look here: Ben Nelson just so happens also to be a New Democrat/DLC’er ( http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ci.cfm?contentid=253373&kaid=103&subid=111 ):

    DLC | New Dem Of The Week | June 1, 2005
    .
    New Dem of the Week: Ben Nelson
    .
    U.S. Senator, Nebraska
    .
    When a bipartisan group of 14 Senators gathered last week in the Capitol, they struck a blow against polarization and a short-sighted effort to radically change the U.S. Senate. Their compromise on judicial nominations, temporary though its effects may be, represented a triumph of common sense. Seven members from each party came to a genuine and sound agreement and they did it in the midst of a nearly poisonous atmosphere that had been threatening to grow still worse. In doing so, they prevented the Senate’s Republican leadership from changing the chamber’s rules to require up-or-down majority-wins votes on every nominee to the federal judiciary and averted a looming “nuclear option.”
    .
    Chief among the deal’s architects was Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson. In his success, he revealed both a respect for bipartisanship and a faith in sane politics over partisan orthodoxy. For weeks leading up to the impending confrontation, he worked quietly to cobble together and bolster up a group of leaders who crossed party lines and advocated a reasoned stand down.

    Yep, that’s Ben Nelson, radical centrist, being lauded by fellow radical centrists in the New Democrat Coalition for his “faith” in bipartisanship.
    .
    It’s these lunatics’ political ideology that corrupts their decisions, not just their venality and self-interest.
    .
    That’s why the materially corrupt machine pol Burris can see the benefit of at least posing as a populist, whilst the DLC/New Democrat cabal that truly controls the Senate literally fixates on how best to reject what ordinary Democrats expect from a popularly-elected government.
    .
    As we are beginning to see, that “common sense” “Third Way” political ideology practiced by the Lincoln/Nelson center-wing is more dangerous to democracy than the common machine corruption embodied by the appointment of Roland Burris.
    .
    They don’t care that “health care reform” will be deeply unpopular –they’ll blame the rightist backlash on liberals again, and side with the Republicans when they gain back control in a couple of years.
    .
    It’s what they do, Pafro.

    You are an online criminal responding to one of your very numerous aliases.. Disgusting in its extreme.
    (It is a travesty of justice that this BLACK CRMINAL continues to roam free while the justice system grinds slowly in apprehending him).

    Despite the Caucasian sounding aliases used by this man and his wife, as I have frequently stated here and elsewhere, this online Vagabond Staurtzechman is a BLACK THUG who stalks, robs and harasses innocent users of the web.

    Tracking innocent people like me online, using Trojans illegal wire taps and all manner of technology based criminality to break into innocent peoples lives and ROB them. On this site alone he has aliases which number in excess of eighty!
    This crook and his wife can be viewed on http://www.akbarshabazz.com.

    They operate numerous LIE and ROBBERY fueled blogs and organizations replete with fake officers bilking an unwitting public.

    “Project 21” is one of the numerous establishments of this criminal. Example, David Almasi-the so called WHITE man at the helm of the affairs of this company does not exist. Despite the extensive digital history created including a doctored face book page, this man and almost all the officers of this and all the organizations this criminal duo creates are non existent—Pictures of people used without their consent all a part of the elaborate SCAM and criminal misrepresentations by this man and his accomplices.

    You are a despicable low life who targets innocent women and children for the most violent crimes while illegally wiretapping, tracking computers and misleading reporters and most people whjo investigate your violent crimes.

    Hey StaurtSzchman aka RustyReturns aka Jcapan the stunning number of numerous aliases used here which I have confirmed to be you, you can blitz and Cyberleech here as you have done with religious zest as is common with Predators like you BUT eventually you will be jailed because serial Predators like you belong in jail. Time alone stands between you and your inevitable prosecution and jail time.

    Yes, I am fully aware of the seriousness of the statements I make here about this man and his numerous aliases.
    I an Attorney and have a Master of Laws Degree and would not make statements on a public forum unless I had absolute certainty of the conduct of this criminal.

    Even though this man and his criminal accomplice contribute to the Associated Press and other news outlets I do not think that should prevent a sustained and vigorous investigation of this Reprobate.

    Online originating crimes such as wiretaps and computer bugs do not lend themselves to short term resolution but require sustained and vigorous investigation to route felons like you Staurtszchman aka Palininatowel aka Nathan777 aka so many many others.

    The first amendment and criminal adroitness in subterfuge can only take you so far. Your deceit of the public, reporters etc. and your continuing commission of heinous crimes under the cover of the web will be the very rope on which you will be prosecuted.

    You are a vicious prevaricator, a criminal and vile FELON. As is the usual modus operandii of criminals of your ilk, you will continue leeching on here and on the other sites commenting and using so many aliases in a vain attempt to appear like a normal user while tampering with material which has already identified you and your numerous aliases beyond a modicum of doubt.

    We have a robust and thriving justice system, ARMED ROBBERS, STALKERS, VICIOUS FELONS like you (using the Internet as cover) using technology as your weapon of choice will be treated like the feckless and violent felons they are! You will be vigorously prosecuted and jailed.

    I make the strong representations about these felons on a public site fully aware of the enormity of same.

    My statements are Absolutely correct and I am certain about these felons and their innumerable aliases here on “Swampland” however the complexity of prosecution leave these criminals free to date!
    The public should be aware of their activities and children and other innocent users of the web should be aware of the use of technology, by criminals like the ones I have identified here, to commit heinous vicious crimes.

    As I stated previously, I am an Attorney and have a Master of Laws degree.
    The statements which about these aliases as well as the criminals behind them are factual and have been verified. These FELONS have the option of legal recourse because I have repeatedly identified and described them here as FELONS, ROBBERS AND CRIMINALS who stalk, rob and molest innocent women and their families. I look forward to confronting them in court.

    They are scam artists who bilk an unwitting public of their monies while stalking and brutalizing others . These Reprobates violate innocent users of their NUMEROUS forums.

    I have identified them here and believe that eventually a seasoned journalist or a seasoned compassionate investigative journalist will vigorously investigate these felons and bring them to justice– and alert the public of these criminals and others of their ilk even as I work to bring these criminals to face the full force and effect of the judicial system.

    I am an Attorney and so yes, the police and authorities have been contacted — and as I indicated the process of prosecuting technology criminals is a long and sustained process.

    However, I am alerting the public about these criminals and will continue to do so. I hope these CRIMINALS will be exposed on the news before they are prosecuted. It will save a lot of people the problems which I have endured for a long time from these Predators and likely Pedophiles.

    It is normal for a law abiding citizen to alert the public of criminals amd crimes so they can avoid falling prey to same.
    I will continue to alert the public until these felons are exposed by the press, prosecuted and jailed.

    This Armed Robber claims to be interracially married and steals the lives of other bonafide interracially married women to fuel this lie and make a profit on her numerous sites and blogs from her lies—meanwhile her husband is a BLACK THUG “AkbarShabazz” who operates numerous online scams including the numerous fabricated Personalities on his “Project21” organization and so many others. Despicable felons!

    I have done enough research to know that the ESSENCE of cyberleeching is to create and fuel numerous aliases and difference in “appearance”. It was perfected by technologically adroit pedophiles and the difference in “syntax” is its very foundational root. It is not a new “craft”

    ——————————————

    “StaurtSzechman and your numerous aliases”:

    Your transparent attempts and your thinly veiled oblique efforts to trigger a limit to my continuing efforts to get you exposed and prosecuted are atrocious.

    I have identified YOU as the stalker, a violent criminal who continues to date to violently and brutally stalk, violate and harass my family (and other law abiding citizens).
    You offer computer services on some of your sites. You are a liar and the dynamic nature of the web and its sheer vastness is responsible for your continued freedom. However, serial criminals like you despite their best efforts to hide their perniciously wicked acts eventually get apprehended.

    One of the reasons I post on here even though I thoroughly enjoy the articles and have great respect for the seasoned journalists on this site is because I am certain that at some point, YOU will be investigated and exposed here.

    In my work with law enforcement and private agencies I have found that criminals like you use the dynamic nature of the Internet to avoid capture while attempting to gag, mislead and misdirect an investigation of your violent acts.

    I have categorically identified you (and your numerous aliases) and have worked with my colleagues in an effort to garner the cooperation of certain concerns to release the fourth level cover which you have used on this site and elsewhere to obscure and alter your true digital footprints.

    While your use of the name face connection might work on a public site like this to fool unwitting readers, I know who you are because you have been repeatedly identified as the felon responsible for the most vicious criminality against innocent law abiding folk like me.

    You use the name Staurtzechman to conjure a caucasoid face but you are a BLACK MALE THUG whose prosecution I continue to vigorously pursue.

    You block my computers ability to access certain sites and sometimes before I can type and post a comment, you post it instead.
    You are a violent Psychopath and will eventually get your just dessert in the robust justice system.

    As I said and have repeated here and elsewhere, if you wish to dispute the veracity of these statements which I have made about your violent and continuing criminal conduct, sue me. It would be my pleasure to confront you in a court of law.

    In the interim, I am doing everything possible to get this story of your continuing criminality, stalking, assaults, robbery and brutal crimes carried and covered by the press.

    I wasn’t trying to infer that getting a degree was nonsense. It just isn’t that hard. You take your classes, write your papers, take the tests and if you pass them you get your degree. A triple digit IQ and a little studying is all it takes. Getting the piece of paper didn’t impress me. Getting a job did. I didn’t even bother to attend the graduation ceremony. I said an aunt had died in Cleveland and that I had to take my mother to the funeral. I went to see the Rolling Stones instead at Cleveland Stadium. Cap and gown, a boring motivational speech or two and half hours of the Stones. Easy choice.

    Gratz!

    Thank you. It seems to me that the country is headed for a train wreck and the people who claim they love it the most are the ones putting the pedal to the metal trying to derail it. We live in curious times.

    Hey, High Sheriffs,

    What’s it going to take to ban this lunatic? She makes me urn for the sensible rantings of textee and ilikechips. Besides the obvious lunacy of the charges leveled (sorry, sacredh, that you don’t get included in the big giant mega-conspiracy “lawyermommy” insists is going on around her, where every random internet commentator on a long-running blog is part of some incomprehensible scheme to harrass her), this is trolling pure and simple.
    .
    This topic, either born at the depths of a feverish imagination or signs of a true mental disorder, is utterly irrelevant to anything that would ever be discussed here. Its unrelated personal pique expressed, lashing out at random people on an anonymous but mainstream blog. Its trolling, its obnoxious, and actually its really quite sad.
    .
    I think you should do something about it. This garbage is ruining your site.

  • piper1

    It looks like you are the stalker in this situation, lawyermommy. You keep coming here and randomly harrassing long-time commenters. I want to feel sympathy for you but your allegations are so ridiculous I am finding it difficult to muster.
    .
    I hope you can calm the demons in your head, lawyermommy. This kind of fixation cannot be healthy. Just remember, you appeared here about 3 months ago, but almost all the people you accuse of being the criminal stalking you (including me) have writings here that stretch back years and have nothing whatsover to do with you. Try to wrap your head around that.

    “Piperr1″,

    I explained to “you” that as a frequent reader and contributor to this site, I read and comment on the articles which interest me. This is a site run by elite journalists and their articles are brilliant. My family especially enjoys the articles on this site.

    However, in reference to your emm comment above, I have been bogged down in massive bureaucracy and red tape in my effort to get the so called long term commenters “you” reference, exposed (PS-longevity as a commenter is not an index of a lack of criminality or motive) despite the first amendment rights which provide checks and balances and in some cases –like this one– protect criminals from immediate exposure.

    Everyone has an option to submit to the judicial system and affirm their identity in a pending matter in which their actions have been deemed criminal for which they are under investigation.

    Cheers!

    Perhaps we need more politicians who have no hope of being reelected.
