Dear mhaze,

.

I’m sorry for disappointing you.

But you must prove your claim (that “the subscriptions represented corruption on a grand scale … including Treasury”) to such a degree that there is no reasonable doubt left in the mind of a rational person, juror or judge.

That is known in law as the principle of “beyond a reasonable doubt”. It is the highest level of certainty. It requires near absolute certainty. While some legal scholars and practitioners have attempted to assign a numerical value to the standard, such as 99% certainty, there is no consensus or official metric to quantify it but, at least, it does give you an idea of the high quality and standard of the proof required.

The object of such a high level of proof is to uphold the presumption of innocence and protect individuals from wrongful convictions.

As I indicated in the detailed analysis of the evidence you posted on this thread (cf., my previous post), “instead of irrefutable proof, you simply insinuate that there has been foul play”. That, I’m afraid, is grossly insufficient.

If you continue to have any doubt about that, mhaze, allow me, once again, to suggest that you obtain the professional opinion of a reputable independent lawyer.

In the early hours of Sunday Australian time, Trump's deadline for the release of all Israel hostages runs out, and we will see if his “all hell will break loose", if they are not released, was bluff and bluster or real.

"But you must prove your claim (that “the subscriptions represented corruption on a grand scale … including Treasury”) to such a degree that there is no reasonable doubt left in the mind of a rational person, juror or judge."

Why?

Sit down while you read this, but OLO isn't a court of law. One of those 'O's stands for 'opinion'. And its my opinion, based on the balance of probabilities, that this was outright corruption of the supposedly 'independent' media. Its also my opinion that you know that and are trying desperately to find some way of denying it.

“Matt Perna went inside the capital amidst of a giant crowd. He had no weapons. He entered through an open door in the middle of a large crowd on 2:20 and he left at 2:58. He stayed within the velvet ropes. He touched nothing. He broke nothing. He hurt no one. He took nothing.”

He was informed by a friend there was a wanted picture of him on an FBI website. He CALLED his local FBI office and turned himself in.

He was initially charged with two misdemeanors (1) knowingly entering a restrictive ground or building (2) disorderly conduct on capital grounds. This was his first encounter with the law.

He was arrested. Facebook and Instagram disabled his accounts, have they disabled Diddy’s yet? The media ran hit piece after hit piece. He was smeared, bullied and defamed every single day.

On January 22, 2021, he was charged with an additional felony which was obstruction of an official proceeding. A change the DOJ knew they couldn’t prove. A statute that didn’t apply. This was ultimately thrown out by the Supreme Court.

His girlfriend left him. After that Matt was depressed and anxious. The DOJ cancelled hearings, they kept delaying and searching for more evidence. Month after the month the prosecution continued to stall, they continued to say they were looking for more evidence and Judge Bates allowed it.

The DOJ came back and offered Matt Perna 6-12 months and he entered into a guilty plea. Judge Bates set the sentencing hearing out two more months. As time continued Matt got more and more depressed and anxious and afraid.

Right before the 7 year anniversary of his mother’s death, his lawyer called and said they are adding a terrorism enhancement which would make his sentence end up being 41-72 months.

Three days later he hung himself."

I think he knows the Palestinians won't give them all up so freely.
Trumps stupid, it's HIS ceasefire deal which only originally called for 3 hostages to be released on Saturday.
He changed his own deal.

I think he's giving Bibi an out to start bombing the Palestinians again which was a deal Bibi made with his right wing counterparts, that the deal would never reach stage 2.

Everything changed in regards to the Ukraine war in the last 24 hours as well.
It seems Kelloggs out and Steve Witkoff is in as Trumps head negotiator.
He's the one who made Bibi sign the ceasefire agreement.
He flew to Moscow and spent 3 and a half hours in discussions before the Trump Putin call.
It wasn't just Ukraine on the agenda.
It was many many different issues.
Game over for Zelensky.

Trump never said he wanted all the hostages released, just all the ones that had been promised that Hamas were threatening to withhold.

They've now caved and agreed to continue to abide by the ceasefire.

Trump wins again. And Hamas now knows the consequences of trying to change the rules half way through. They either tow the line Trump has set for them or face further decimation.
