Where friends and family members and victims of this one serial rapist whom cops refused to catch all talked about their experiences being bullied by the system. And it just got to me. These experiences were so similar to mine, and it's the same corruption and hypocrisy going on, I commented and shared several of my experiences, only to later on be blocked. Again, this Meaghan Ybos is dealing with an attorney and suing the city, so I am guessing that's what is going on. In any case, out of fear of censorship, I copied and pasted things right before I was blocked so I have the whole conversation.
It's absolutely atrocious what the cops did and it seems obvious to me, this serial rapist was someone they must have known and someone who was working for the mafia, and that's why they were protecting him and bullying the victims. It's all about money for them -- plus the fact that, in a lot of cases, these serial rapists have inside connections to people in the system, who help them choose their victims very wisely, so as to pick on the poor and disenfranchised. People who are unable to stand up to the cops too easily when bullied. As you can see with the cops wife who later divorced because her husband was helping cops intimidate her into shutting up about the whole thing.
OK and here let me copy and paste. These include theories that discuss my own mothers experiences (what bits and pieces I can guess) and my twin brother's experiences as well. It's very obvious, this kind of abuse is something the system perpetrates as a deliberate strategy to bully people into silence after exposing them to sensitive information that the business world wants them and other people to cover up. Thus, the tactic is, expose someone to information -- and then make an example of them. And then everyone else knows what to say and what not to say.
OK, here goes:

RemoveRachel Lanier Pierson Yes, thank you Justin, for your valuable input and candid details of your experience as a previous family member of a rape victim. However, I do not recall Justin being the "reason" Alliano was finally caught...I believe it had a little something to do with MY being viciously and repeatedly raped at knifepoint, my being able to escape while Alliano stole credit cards from my purse, my enduring hours of humiliation and discomfort to get my rape kit done and collect the abundance of DNA evidence that I had managed to wisely save during my terrifying struggle to survive, followed by my living in excruciating pain from the broken back I sustained during my rape, along with the mental scars and the lifetime of subsequent fears, anxieties, insecurities and paranoias that I was given, especially the paralyzing terror I lived in constantly for the 2 years after my attack while my rape kit sat untouched and Alliano roamed free, continuing to add to his list of victims, all the while I was forced to sit prisoner locked inside my own home, afraid that Alliano would surely return to finish the job and kill me. Of course, add in all the anger I have felt for having this cowardly mam selfishly choose me and in turn destroy my entire life, leading to my divorce and leaving me a single mother, with physical and mental injuries limiting my ability to reclaim peace and happiness for myself and my son even more. Add in even more anger and non frustration that plagues my life because the damn MPD failed to test my rape kit (AND bc they never arrested and processed Alliano in 2006 when he was FIRST caught raping a 16 year old child.) Finally, MY choosing to go on the news and publicly share my story shortly after Alliano was caught for his attack on me and was arrested for multiple felony counts of aggravated rape, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated burglary, etc...MY same news story that thankfully was seen by you, Meaghan Ybos, which prompted you to call the MPD and ask them to test the DNA from your rape kit against Alliano since the details of my rape attack sounded so much like what happened to you a DECADE earlier. Low and behold, the DNA of my rapist DID match the DNA from your rape kit, and thus full scope of the "Cordova Serial Rapist" was born and the extent of Alliano's decade long (or quite possibly longer) predation on the young women in our city finally came to light. I have largely remained silent ever since September of 2012, when I was the first person to come forward and speak publicly on TV as a rape victim, in an effort to bring much needed attention to this debacle. However, I feel compelled to speak up right now, since your comment stating that my ex-husband was the "reason Alliano was caught" is not only NOT true, but because it also belies our unique understanding of each other and the special sisterhood we share as survivors of not only Alliano's brutal attacks, but also the subsequent hell this city has put us through for YEARS now...While the importance of maintaining public awareness and support for our story and for ALL rape victims is absolutely paramount, I also believe we should be careful not to lose sight of just who exactly was truly hurt, and continues to be hurt, by this mess. Because it certainly effected ALL of our families and friends, including my ex-husband Justin, but this is not his rape story, or his survival story, or his physicsl and mental struggle every day and every night for the rest of his life, like it IS for me, and for you and for every single other victim. And it certainly is not HIS story of catching our rapist. This is his ex-wife's story, MINE, and YOURS and MADISON'S and all the other actual victims, who should at the very least be given proper credit where credit is due. As a fellow survivor of this, and specifically because it was my story on the news years ago that is the reason you have closure for your case, I would hope you might consider revising your statement and give credit to the real heroes of this story rather than mislead the public by thanking my ex-husband for the agonizing pain, fear and embarrassment that I have had to endure and overcome in order to bring Alliano to justice. Always with much love and respect, I hope you can understand why your comment is bothersome to me and why it prompted me to post this bit of clarification...If you want to thank Justin for his public awarness and support, fantastic, I thank him, too! But, please do not thank him for all of MY hardwork, strength and perseverance that truly was the reason that Alliano now sits in prison for the rest of his sorry life....Rachel21 hrs · Like · 6
RemoveMeaghan Ybos You are so right, Rachel Lanier Pierson. I should have chosen my words better. I'm sorry if you feel overlooked or dismissed by my wording. It's my understanding that MPD wouldn't have attempted to investigate your case in 2010 or other similar "cold cases" in the area without the pressure from you and Justin. In my mind and for me, the "break" in the case came when police looked for surveillance photos and then released the image to the public as a "possible serial rapist." You make a very good point that I missed last night-- that WE, the victims, are responsible for Alliano's capture, through reporting our attacks and dealing with indifferent law enforcement. At least for me, the REASON we reported our attacks was the hope that our attacker would be caught. When you subsequently called out Memphis on tv, too, additional victims alerted police to their cases, I believe. Thank you for pointing this out to me.19 hrs · Like · 3

RemoveRachel Lanier Pierson Thank you, Meaghan Ybos, I know you didn't mean anything by it Guess I just needed to share my feelings, bc it is definetely hard for me to be trying to move forward positively in my life and then suddenly come across my ex-husband on the news talking about my rape, as if it happened to him or he did anything about it at the time, because trust me, he did not. Hence, why we are now divorced! However, I will say that Justin appears to have made changes in his life and especially in his views towards my rape, but this is the opposite of who he was when this all actually happened...That is just another side effect nobody gets, how this kind of crime can destroy couples and families...And Justin being a cop only caused the MPD to keep my rape story even MORE hush hush...I was also explicitly told not to ever contact the media, and for YEARS Justin echoed that same sentiment- he refused to even let me talk about my rape, he would roll his eyes at my mere mention of it, so I was forced to sit inside my house, terrified and completely alone for 2 years, until it finally got bad enough and I had to leave my marriage for the safety of myself and my son. As a cop, especially in Memphis where crime is just vicious, Justin was trained to be as tough and indifferent as possible. Therefore, rather than bring us closer together, my rape only isolated me and made Justin avoid the entire issue. He also felt some sense of guilt I believe, as a husband AND a cop, not being able to "protect" his wife, so he also became tremendously aggressive and rageful, which of course he took out on me, probably bc I was a constant reminder of the horrible rape he wished would just go away, wished had never happened...much like the attitude of the entire MPD. Just brush these victims off, push them aside and hope they shut up and go away quickly...that's literally what the police department has done to all of us and it is exactly what they instill in their police officers, as is evidenced by my very own husband and the awful way he treated me and his refusal to support me in anything remotely related to my rape. It was not until Justin was fired from the MPD right around the time they caught Alliano in May 2012 that he began realizing how awful they are and how badly they and he both had treated me, but by then it was too late for us, we were already going through our divorce. So, I guess you could say it's a bit difficult for me to hear anyone say that Justin is or was in any way shape or form a hero or champion in this case. He may now be vocalizing his personal understanding and support of all rape victims, which I am the first to applaud him for and thank God for helping him get to this point today. But, back in May of 2012 when Alliano was finally caught, Justin and I had already filed for divorce and he was not even allowed to work at the MPD bc he was being investigated by Internal Affairs and was off-duty bc of his domestic violence arrests. So, trust me, the MPD was NOT spurred to action on my case bc of Justin in any way, rather much the opposite, they wanted my case to be kept quiet and go away. The reason they were able to find Alliano and test his DNA against my rape kit DNA, and thereby arrest him, was bc Alliano stole my credit cards during my attack and I repeatedly worked with as many detectives as I could in Sex Crimes to track down every place he used my credit card. Then, we collected surveillance tapes from every place he charged stuff and watched hundreds of hours of footage of him using my card and also of me in the hours leading up to my attack. This got us those first video reels and still shots of Alliano in Walmart where he bought stuff with my card. This wasn't enough to ID him though, so after more research through my credit cards and countless witness interviews and friends and family scrutinizing more tapes, we finally found out he had eaten at Red Robin and used my card. I then called the detectives DAILY (all the while I'm married to an MPD cop, who did not help with any of this one bit, he was embarrassed to even admit I was his wife whenever someone accidentally found out at work and asked him about it!) I begged them to investigate further, to go to Red Robin and try to find the waitress who waited on Alliano. One very special detective, a rarity among the fools at the MPD, listened to me and he actually found the girl at Red Robin who served him. She then was able to pick Alliano out of a lineup, which gave the cops cause to take a sample of his DNA, which they THEN sent with my rape kit to be tested and it was a match. At this same exact time, I had to go file a restraining order against Justin due to him stalking and ultimately attacking me. So, again, please just know that Justin had nothing at all to do with any positive outcome with Alliano. I am the one rape victim who has actually been in Justin's life and the 10+ police reports of DV and his 4 arrests during this very same time that Alliano was caught, clearly show that his intentions were nothing like what he is now publicly claiming they are today. Having said all of that, if Justin truly has made such a dramatic transformation, and he is genuinely such an advocate for us rape victims, then I join you in thanking him and appreciate his voice very much. Every single voice that can be heard to bring awarness to this atrocity is valuable and I will be the first person to recognize this. I just want the true facts of how and why certain things were accomplished to be known and that I wish Justin had embodied this caring, supportive, empathetic perspective towards rape victims when he was married to one...We have got to get together sweet girl, call/text me sometime soon Rachel15 hrs · Like · 5

RemoveJustin Johnson I understand my ex- wife's deep hurt. I can't read her comments because I blocked her. I refuse to say anything negative about her. I live with a pain of this crime and how is dramatically changed our lifes . I resigned from MPD and it was the best decision I ever made. That is highlighted in the video above in the first interview me and Rachel both interviewed for . At that time I had Domestic Charges that where later dropped after being found to not be true, when we both interviewed together. If your familiar at all with this crime you know the trauma it causes . I was never raped but someone I loved was and I did everything in my power to make sure that she was treated fairly and that she got the Justice she deserved ,as every other victim should recieve the same treatment. know now how important that was,being an advocate for my wife that other victims didn't have. To know who to call for my Sears Credit Card that Rachel had in her purse that was stolen during the attack that wasn't discovered missing until weeks later.The knowledge to call the credit card company to find the locations it had been used first. The presence of being a officer to call the investigators & demand they pull video footage now and not be put on hold as they tried to do, before I stated I was a Memphis Police Officer. I can't take credit for anything but loving my ex-wife and telling the truth this entire time . I will never stop praying for Rachel or Lanier. I'm glad she is speaking, that makes me happy, she should never remain silent on this tragedy. This is why every Rape Kit has to be tested immediately, nobody should be made a victim because of the neglect of testing Rape Kits. This could be the only evidence that could bring justice, healing to victims and theit familes and to stop others from becoming victims. Thats where I hope this converstaion is driven for change, for victims to be treated as victims not as suspects and for Rape to be taken seriously by eveyone..13 hrs · Edited · Like · 1

RemoveDamian Schloming Interesting. I hope Facebook doesn't censor all these remarks because this is like the real story un-filtered by the media. It's obvious, even when the media DOES report, they leave tons of stuff out. Anyway, these experiences are basically not exactly the same as my experiences. I am a man, so they have a slightly different set of tactics they use against men, but, yeah, I can recognize the same system at work. It's not stupidity, it's not incompetence, it's deliberate. As for this Alliano person, I am very suspicious and feel like there is more to the story that nobody but the cops know. Like these weren't just random rapes, there was something organized, systemic, and purposeful behind it, almost like they were "jobs" or "assignments" he was given, not he just wanted to do it for the hell of it, but that there's a coherent strategy of intimidation behind it all that serves some purpose related to organized crime/fascism/etc. And, well, there are a few things I know or have heard that I don't feel fully comfortable sharing. I've had bad experiences sharing either my story or some of the insights I have about it. Well....ok, here is the thing. I documented many of my experiences and things I've been told well enough so there are plenty of things I feel comfortable saying because I can point to documentation backing it up. People tend to be hesitant to accuse me of being crazy for saying something they know I can back up enough so as to make them look silly for trying to say I'm crazy, a nut, a conspiracy theorist, etc. But then there is stuff I kind of know or maybe don't fully "know" but can figure out that's not so easily backed up. That's what I hesitate to talk about....BUT -- I have a feeling this Alliano person may have had a few contacts in law enforcement, or had ways of finding out stuff. What if Justin is in a position to know that, was not in a position to do much about it, and somehow "knew" that intimidating his wife into shutting up about it was what would protect her from......from this person coming back and finishing the job? And couldn't even tell his wife the real reason behind his behavior, because it would be dangerous for her to know, any hint that she knows and......bad outcome? I am saying all this for a reason. At the same time, if anyone asks me how do I know, or why would I speculate in this direction, I'm not going to be comfortable explaining why, aka maybe I've had people tell me things but don't want to reveal sources. And of course I'm not fully sure how accurate. But I think it's interesting how Justin had one tack, then they catch Alliano and fire Justin, and then afterwards he changes his tune. But, maybe he knew how bad they were all along and just kept it to himself -- when you are working for them, they can send you on a job that leads to your death, you know, whereas once you are no longer officially working for them, you can protect yourself from certain kinds of harm better. And then you can ask, why didn't he quit? Again, if Alliano was out on the loose and indirectly in contact with some crooked members of law enforcement, resigning in order to protect yourself from harm could result in someone sending Alliano to "finish the job." I think, the way it works, the system is complex so one sometimes has to think of multiple things at once -- like what if he had to protect his own life AND hers at the same time? And keep her in the dark about some things? Also, as for Alliano, I'm very suspicious as to why they never caught him earlier. There MUST have been a reason. Was he a hit man maybe? But the rapes meant he could be made to do hits and other "jobs" for free? Saving some crime boss lots and lots of money? Hence, it was "worth it" to some and to the cops to protect him from getting caught? See from the standpoint of certain people, if his rapes weren't random but organized, he could be so valuable to them NOT caught. Make them money, they themselves know they don't have to worry -- they can even help him choose his victims "wisely." The people he victimizes aren't important to them. But the money he helps them somehow accumulate all is a plus for them. Again, a lot of this is speculative -- but I do think the system works like this.12 hrs · Like
RemoveDamian Schloming And another thing. As for what Catharine MacKinnon calls "the systematicity of it ... the interlinked interconnectedness of all these things that had been regarded as a set of discrete criminal acts....what it means to be a second class citizen as a woman is to be systematically sexually violated....."

RemoveDamian Schloming However, I think I'm not the only member of my family who has had experiences like these. My mother has told me bits and pieces of info over the years which lead me to think she had similar experiences -- and when I recently sort of try to confront her about it in a way, she'll sort of halfway admit it yet also be evasive about it too. So I'll say no more other than she has had her own set of experiences, and obviously covered them up other than occasionally mentioning fragmented hints. More important, though, is the following: http://nyti.ms/17AFgXdThe Government’s Bad Diet AdviceAmerica’s dietary guidelines have long been based on weak science.NYTIMES.COM|BY NINA TEICHOLZ11 hrs · Like · Remove Preview
RemoveDamian Schloming The New York Times is reporting that all of the health recommendations and nutrition recommendations made in the 60's were a bunch of garbage and have been very quickly and easily debunked. Well, guess what? It is interesting that we are only hearing about this now, because my mother has been telling me all these studies done then in the 60's were fraudulent, that their recommendations were garbage, not to be trusted, and that General Mills was behind it all. General Mills wanted nutrition recommendations made that would boost its profits. She worked for the Harvard School of Public Health, studying obesity and nutrition, and she was either involved in some of these studies, or knew everyone who was. It is interesting, but I do believe that whatever experiences she had were FOLLOWING her exposure to that research, and I am going to speculate that maybe she was made an example of ..... so that other researchers would know what they had to do to protect others in the area from similar kinds of problems? But, that is not all.....11 hrs · Like

RemoveDamian Schloming My twin brother, Lucas, worked for the Federal Reserve for a brief time when Bill Clinton was president. What was interesting was, I remember very specifically hearing about how his employers loved him and said he was a wonderful worker, and then I remember my mother telling me about he had proved himself to be really brilliant and solved some problem that had stumped economists -- aged economists, like economists who were in their 50's -- for years. They just couldn't figure out why the actual numbers didn't conform to their model, but Lucas solved it. Immediately after he solved it, he started having horrible problems, which I didn't really know fully the details of. However, everything we now know from Edward Snowden regarding the NSA and surveillance, I first heard about it from my brother. And, while I can say that Naomi Wolf's article "sex crimes in the white house" rings a bell for me based on some of my OWN personal experiences -- which you can't say didn't really happen because I did a lot of documenting of things so nobody can say I just made it up -- however, her article "sex crimes in the whitehouse" and description of torture carried out by medical professionals ALSO rings a bell for me because of things my BROTHER told me about, around the time he also told me about Edward Snowden style "surveillance." And, of course, he wasn't the type to go document things, you know. Well, anyway, guess what the economics problem was that he "solved" and guess what his solution was? I can't remember exactly what it was but I think it may have had something to do with regulations, maybe the cost of regulations, whatever it was, the numbers were not adding up. The actual numbers did not conform to what the economic model SAID the costs of certain regulation should be. Well, Lucas went and I think he added an extra variable to the model, and argued that the numbers won't add up because CORRUPTION will prevent regulations from being fully enforced, so if you add an extra "Corruption" variable, you can get the numbers to all add up perfectly. It was after he solved that problem that he had all sorts of horrible and very weird problems. Some of which did include being date rape drugged, I remember he told me that too. I just want to note the pattern. It would appear my mother has a bunch of problems -- which I think included rape -- that immediately followed her doing or being exposed to research in the 60's which she told me all along was fraudulent or "baloney" and which, now, everyone is admitting really WAS baloney. And, the manner in which the research was corrupted was profitable to general mills. My twin brother has similar problems immediately after helping fix an economic model that adds in a "corruption" variable. And, well, certainly one can also see that the manner in which my own experiences were "instigated" was to first expose me to certain information which powerful interests would want to cover up.11 hrs · Like
RemoveDamian Schloming And I think previous generations in my family also had similar problems. My great grandfather, you can read about him below. First of all, he wasn't really an illiterate peasant, I don't know what he was but he wasn't illiterate, he was a genius, yet some of the news articles called him an illiterate peasant when he testified in the Sacco and Vanzetti case. Furthermore, he testified in that case immediately upon returning to America right AFTER he had been imprisoned by Mussolini for political reasons, and I think while his wife may still have been in prison for political reasons (not sure about that though). What's left out of the following blurb on him is how he had medical experiments forcibly done on him, which lead to him dying young of bone cancer since these experiments included radiation poisoning. I don't know where these experiments were but I think they might have been in the USA, not Italy. But I'm not sure about that. I never really asked my grandfather to elaborate. But, anyway, it would appear he was some sort of holocaust survivor or escapee (but from Italy, not Germany)-- and then goes to testify AGAINST the government on behalf of the DEFENSE in the Sacco and Vanzetti case. Nothing about this sordid past ever gets in the newspapers. And then he gets government contracts apparently, I am pretty sure his tile business was after he so testified, which is very irregular. The government only rewards witnesses who testify ON BEHALF of the government, not who testify AGAINST the government. Also, my grandfather got admitted to Harvard right afterwards too. The government always rewards people or "takes care" of them like that if they have done the government some kind of favor -- maybe his testimony and certain things he may have covered up there, including ways in which that investigation was corrupt, might have been reason for getting govt contracts AFTER he testifies on behalf of the defense? Anyway, that's just another example of the same pattern, and I think the way it may work the government is capable of compromising whole families, and forcing one generation to help them manipulate and visit abuse on other generations. And the selective deploying of certain criminal types, along with connections between career criminals and "legitimate" government officials help things so members of the "legitimate system" can go ensure compliance in certain ways. Or it's like they can have certain families between a rock and a hard place -- trapped between the "legitimate" government system with its written rules and due process AND between career criminals members of the "legitimate" government can deploy against certain people in certain instances. http://www.theanarchistwine.com/epilogue/DC Estate wines - epilogueDC Estate wines is a premier wine cellar and retail store in Bethesda, MD with an assortment of fine wines from...THEANARCHISTWINE.COM10 hrs · Like · Remove Preview
RemoveDamian Schloming Anyway, the point is, if you listen closely to what Catharine MacKinnon has to say -- but REMEMBER to take what she says with grains of salt, it's not that she isn't sort of right, it's more that I think she is distorting things or leaving stuff out for reasons of her own, not necessarily ill intentioned reasons -- and then look at somewhat of the pattern I am noticing with some of my own family members, as well as myself, I think you can understand or speculate why or how "the system" would find someone such as Alliano quite precious to them in several ways. Also I do recall Hannah Arendt mentioning how, with Capitalism, the business world, particularly the American Business World, and "criminal syndicates" are heavily interlinked.10 hrs · Like

RemoveDamian Schloming He was, let's just say, unfaithful to his wife and.........with women who worked for him.....I recall the name of the organization at Harvard now that is concerned with sexual harassment and rape culture is named "Our Harvard Can Do Better." I kind of think, based on all my mother has taught me, that name is a very apt name, and Harvard COULD have done better vis-a-vis proper nutrition recommendations....but.....this man's personal life, his connections to people in government and.....well I remember my mother telling me of some friend of hers who died in exactly the same manner Marilyn Monroe died...sleeping pill overdose and drowning in bathtub. I kind of wonder about that. I have a feeling that rapists and sexual harassers get deployed to blackmail institutions, who have no choice but to cooperate because of how certain special interests ALSO have access to career criminals that include not only serial rapists but serial "hit men" or mass murderors, plus they donate to local politicians in the communities surrounding, and have the power to corrupt local police forces and other surrounding institutions as well, and then scientists get intimidated---intimidation that takes the form of direct intimidation/violence/abuse plus indirect blackmail resulting from it ends up corrupting science. It just makes sense to me an institution could be forced to accept someone "bad" into their midst, who does bad things, and then his connections to dangerous people can somehow be used to force same institution to handle it all in a potentially scandalous way which gets covered up and bad "science" profitable to the special interests controlling things gets produced. Notice how, the moment Jean Mayer leaves Harvard for Tufts, money pours into Tufts inexplicably and he turns them into a world class institution. Coincidence? I note, Mary Joe Frug had an interesting manifesto on related issues AND was murdered and some have argued for political reasons, as you can see here: http://www.nytimes.com/.../bar-attacking-work-slain...At the Bar; In attacking the work of a slain professor, Harvard's elite themselves...NYTIMES.COM|BY BY DAVID MARGOLICK9 hrs · Like · Remove Preview
RemoveDamian Schloming in any case - it is far more than just personal. The despicable evil things done to individuals are part of a strategy that helps large corporations make huge profits -- who then pay off enough people so as to perpetuate it.

All this passive aggressive stuff like treating an actual rape victim you are related you rottenly, and then going on TV later on and issuing a bunch of platitudes, even while blocking your ex wife -- that's all in all very passive aggressive bullshitty even while trying your best to get accolades for your behavior, as well as sympathy as well, as if you are a victim yourself.35 mins · Like
RemoveDamian Schloming that's sort of like "what can I milk this all for." And, guess what? I think you knew there was some sort of plan for that man to rape your wife -- and I would not be surprised if you deliberately provoked a fight with her in order to provoke her into spending the night in that house alone, where she could be raped. I know, every single time anything like that happened to me, every person involved very deliberately set it up and it was pre-meditated. How do we know you did not court her and marry her SOLELY for the purpose of arranging for her to be raped like that, in return for whatever quid pro quo? Because tons of gay guys played EXACTLY the same game with me -- for self advancement. Faking romantic interest, so they could benefit from putting me in positions where I could be abused. And, again, that is also part of a larger pattern that occurred not only with me.31 mins · Like
RemoveDamian Schloming As far as i'm concerned -- you had a back room deal with Alliano. Cuz everyone who faked romantic interest in me -- and then arranged for me to be abused -- did. And what is so special about you that your behavior didn't follow that pattern? I notice, also, if you look on A Voice For Men website, you will learn of discussions with men who have had WOMEN do that to them -- women connected to the corrupt LEGAL SYSTEM fake romantic interest, then manipulate them and set them up to be abused by the system. In other words, in this country, that sort of behavior is widespread. It's what insiders of a certain criminal class connected to the legal system and savvy in the legal system do to outsiders, for a reward.28 mins · Like

RemoveDamian Schloming now, yeah the system is corrupt, you have to have balls to stand up to it, be willing to stand up for what's right even if it means pay a cost -- which is quite different from feigning victimhood so you can get your pretty face on TV, even while you have the real victim on block and also safely tucked away out of sight. Get your face on TV --and shake down more funds for "the system." And get on TV and make money and get all sorts of opportunities, with everyone saying how wonderful you are -- even while they shun the real victim who is perpetually "persona non grata" in that fake superficial world of suck ups and fakes you inhabit.3 mins
