HILLARY CLINTON'S HIT LIST

SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER UNDER-SEIGE

SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER UNDER-SEIGE The COFOUNDER and the LEAD ATTORNEY for the SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER, namely MR. MORRIS DEES, who just happened to be "OBAMA'S EDUCATION CZAR" offered me a TON of MONEY to simply just continue doing my JOB! ... and "ON A SIDENOTE", I never wanted nor did I ever receive any MONEY from the MR. MORRIS DEES or the SPLC, but I was very happy to ablige. ... and, "NO", no one in the FBI or the DEPARTMENT of JUSTICE has ever contacted me about that UNETHICAL OFFER or the CORRUPTION within the SPLC! ... and "YES" this story is going all the way back to 2010 when former PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA was residing in the WHITEHOUSE and the U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL was ERIC HOLDER! ... and "YES", I did everything that I possibly could do to expose MORRIS DEES, the SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER, the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION and ERIC HOLDER along with the totally proeposterous EXCELENCE IN EDUCATION INITIATIVE being implemented by the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION! The U.S. DEPARTMENT of EDUCATION is an EXECUTIVE BRANCH of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT that violates the U.S. CONSITUTION by its very existance. U.S. STATES have the constitutional right to educate their own STUDENT POPULATIONS without federal interference. OBAMA exploited the U.S. CONSTITUTION with the help of ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER, the SPLC along with all of his so-called, "CZARS"! ... and "YES", the EXCELENCE IN EDUCATION INITIATIVE basically meant that if BLACK STUDENTS were SUSPENDED, EXPELLED or placed into ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL SETTINGS for violating SCHOOL RULES and REGULATIONS the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT would withhold FEDERAL FUNDING from the SCHOOL DISTRICT. ... and "NO", it did not take BLACK STUDENTS very long to realize that they had carte blanche and could basically turn CLASSROOMS and entire PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS inside out and upside down and all-around without recourse. ... and "YES", STUDENTS, TEACHERS, STAFF MEMBERS, ADMINISTRATORS even POLICE RESOURCE OFFICERS were getting severely INJURED! ... and "NO", no one was saying a single word about it except me. I was the only person publishing stories about what was going on inside the JPPSS on-line in the TIMES PICAYUNE on their NOLA.COM WEBPAGE and doing RADIO BROADCASTS on a daily basis. ... and, "YES", I was being threatened and harrassed by HIGH-RANKING OFFICIALS within the JPPSS! I could name a few but that's a topic for another discussion. However, I will just provide you the initials of just one JPPSS OFFICAL at this time "CC"! ... and "YES", CC actually wrote me up on a couple of occasions which I found hilarious at the time. ... and "YES", things got so out of hand that even the SPLC was threatening to sue me personally unless I stopped doing what I was doing. ... "BUT", you can rest assured that that never happened, simply because I was on a roll and there was no stopping me at that point it was all downhill. ... "BECAUSE", PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER and MORRIS DEES opened-up PANDORA'S BOX and they could not put the lid back on the box! ... and "YES", the rest is HISTORY!

Finally some really "GREAT NEWS" coming from IDAHO!

LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, FLORIDA and TEXAS are currently exploring the same option for DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, ROBBERS, RIOTERS and CARJACKERS! (SOUTHORN POVERTY LAW CENTER)

A federal appeals court’s Thursday ruling could force the Supreme Court to decide if suppressors and magazines fall under the definition of “arms.”

A federal appeals court’s Thursday ruling could force the Supreme Court to decide if suppressors and magazines fall under the definition of “arms.” The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled Thursday in Comeaux v. United States that suppressors fall under the category of “arms” and are protected under the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment Foundation noted the “circuit split,” when two appellate circuits disagree on similar cases, in a series of posts on X, while SAF Director of Legal Research and Education Konstadinos Moros specifically mentioned the Ninth Circuit case Duncan v. Bonta. (RELATED: 2A Orgs Pop Champagne Corks Over Unanimous Supreme Court Ruling Paring Back Gun Law) “There is now a circuit split on whether suppressors are arms,” Moros posted. “This is of critical importance to those of us in states that totally ban them. While everyone else is arguing about whether registration is constitutional, we can’t even register them under the NFA if we wanted to!” The National Firearms Act, passed in 1934, imposed a $200 tax on suppressors, fully-automatic firearms, “short-barreled” rifles and shotguns and other weapons and required they be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). When a “circuit split” occurs, the Supreme Court tends to be more likely to hear the case to resolve the disagreement among the lower courts. The Fifth Circuit ruling decisively rejected the Justice Department’s arguments that suppressers were not arms in the unanimous ruling. “First, Bruen explained that Second Amendment ‘Arms’ need not be necessary for a firearm’s functioning but instead must only ‘facilitate armed self-defense,” the opinion said. “And second, the Supreme Court has cautioned lower courts against the trapped-in-amber approach that the government attempts to use by limiting the definition of ‘Arms’ to those devices required for militia service at the Founding. Silencers are ‘Arms.’” The Supreme Court invalidated New York’s “good cause” requirement for pistol permits in June 2022 via a 6-3 ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, who authored the court’s opinion, cited historical gun laws and the debate around the ratification of the 14th Amendment as reasons New York’s law was unconstitutional. While the Fifth Circuit found that suppressors were protected under the Second Amendment, it upheld the conviction of Comeaux because the National Firearms Act of 1934 operates similarly to a “shall issue” system for administering applications for concealed carry permits. In another sign that the high court could take this case up, the Ninth Circuit case Moros cited as causing the potential “split,” Duncan v. Bonta, has been relisted 21 times as of Thursday, according to the Supreme Court’s docket. In that case, a federal district court initially found California’s ban on detachable magazines holding more than ten rounds unconstitutional, but was overturned on appeal by an “en banc” panel at the appellate court, which has a long-standing reputation as one of the most left-leaning federal appellate courts in the country. The Supreme Court has overturned almost four out of every five decisions the Ninth Circuit has issued since 2007, according to the Pacific Research Institute, with the high court reversing 94% of the circuit’s rulings in the term ending in June 2021. The Trump administration has sought to prod the Supreme Court to hear more Second Amendment cases. “We’re identifying places where we can help make new law or create a circuit split for purposes of ultimate Supreme Court determination,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon told the DCNF in a previous interview.

"BUZZWORDS and PROPAGANDA"

"BUZZWORDS and PROPAGANDA" Buzzwords and propaganda share a dangerous overlap: both use emotional language to bypass critical thinking and force a specific reaction. While buzzwords originally describe specialized trends, they are frequently weaponized in politics and marketing to manipulate audiences without providing evidence.

Common Propaganda Techniques Using Words

Glittering Generalities: Using emotionally appealing, vaguely defined words that demand immediate approval without supporting facts. These words carry heavy positive connotations but can mean different things to different people.

Examples: Freedom, family values, organic, democracy, transformative. Name-Calling & Labeling: Assigning pejorative labels to a person or idea so the audience rejects them immediately without examining the evidence. Examples: Un-American, tree-hugger, special-interest. Loaded Language: Words heavily charged with emotion that intend to influence the audience's attitude and short-circuit rational debate. Examples: Job-killer, loophole, unhinged, radical. Weasel Words: Ambiguous words used to create an impression of a specific claim without actually committing to a verifiable promise.

The Buzzword/Propaganda Cycle Buzzwords often start as fresh ways to describe real trends (e.g., synergy, disruption). However, once they become ubiquitous, they often devolve into empty, hollow manipulation tools used to sound knowledgeable or force a narrative, rather than convey objective information.

... and "NO" the FBI has never called MARK TRAINA in to testify against the SPLC for BRIBERY, MONEY LAUNDERING or PUBLIC CORRUPTION, probably because under former PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA and ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER'S totally corrupt ADMINISTRAION incidents like this were facilitated by the FBI and the DEPARTMENT of JUSTICE in order to protect totally corrupt far-left organizations like the SPLC, ADL and the ACLU that were actually being financed using BILLIONS of TAX-PAYER'S DOLLARS to do all of their DIRTY WORK!

We are writing to supplement the complaint with new information. Yesterday afternoon, the local newspaper, The Times-Picayune, ran an article about our filing with the Office for Civil Rights. The Times Picayune permits readers to comment on an article on their website, and displays the comments for the public to read following each story. An employee of JPPSS, Mark Traina, posted comments about race that warrant further review in light of his position with JPPSS. Mark Traina is a school psychologist for JPPSS, and he participates in decisions related to students’ removal to the alternative schools. He is responsible for the development of functional behavior assessments and behavior support plans for students in JPPSS, and he is a participant in most of the district’s manifestation determination review decisions for students with disabilities. It is our understanding that he is currently or has previously served as hearing officer in JPPSS, and as such, he makes or has made determinations about students’ expulsions from school or removals to the alternative school. He participated in the removal decisions of several of the named complainants in the May 17, 2012 administrative complaint. 4431 Canal Street New Orleans, LA 70119 T 504.486.8982 F 504.486.8947 www.splcenter.org Southern Poverty Law Center 2 On the afternoon of May 17, Mr. Traina posted racially hostile language to The TimesPicayune website, www.nola.com. In particular, he states, “One only needs to read the Times Picayune to see who the real trouble makers are. Sadly, it is disproportionately young black males. Everyone knows that our jails throughout the United States are disproportionately filled with black people. Why would the rate be any different in an educational environment?” Mr. Traina goes on to recite inflammatory statements about African Americans and then ends his rant with “if it looks like a Duck, and quacks like a Duck and walks like a Duck it probably ain’t no Chicken!” We are deeply concerned by Mr. Traina’s comments. He states that he sees African American students as “trouble makers.” This provides further explanation for why African American students bear the brunt of the removals to the alternative schools in JPPSS. There is a clear connection between the use of subjective judgments on student conduct, drawn from opinions like Mr. Traina’s, and the disproportionate rates of discipline for African-American students in Jefferson Parish schools. African American students are far more likely than their white classmates to be punished or referred to the alternative schools, if these comments reflect the subjective judgment of district personnel in positions of authority, such as Mr. Traina. After reviewing Mr. Traina’s comments on www.nola.com, we reviewed the comments publicly available on his Twitter account (see attached screen shots). These comments include: • “Young Black Thugs who won’t follow the law need to be put down not incarcerated. Put down like the Dogs they are!” (January 14, 2012) • “Serpas should be warning people to STAY THE HELL OUT OF NEW ORLEANS! These Black Dudes will Kill You!” (January 13, 2012) • “We need many Young Black Males living Thug Lives to lay down their Weapons, get Educated and start contributing to Society” (January 16, 2012) • “Two additional suspects arrested in murder of 11-year-old Harvey boy: Angry Young black Males with no respect for Life! Destroying the U.S.” (January 13, 2012) • “Protesters march-Florida! How come White People don’t Protest when Blacks kill Whites which occurs too often? Is that a politically correct?” (March 31, 2012) • “2 New Orleans policemen shot, 1 suspect dead, another injured: UPDATE | NOLA Quick Someone call David Duke before the NAACP gets here!” (March 4, 2012) • “Santorum wins Mississippi and Alabama primaries: I grew up in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana-I am a Wallace Man at Heart!” (March 13, 2012) Mr. Traina’s comments corroborate our claims that African American students are victims of discrimination and targets for discipline in Jefferson Parish public schools. We have attached a full transcript of Mr. Traina’s comments to The Times Picayune, and we have included screen shots of the posting on The Times Picayune website and of Mr. Traina’s Twitter feeds. We would like this information to be considered as a supplement to the Administrative Complaint filed yesterday with your office, and we renew our request for a full compliance review of JPPSS.
