“It’s absolute nonsense!”

In response to phone calls received and a blog comment by Judge Hawkins did what? at 5:06 PM today alleging a physical altercation involving the judge and a courthouse employee, we reached out to Gina Hawkins on her cell a few minutes ago.

Here’s what she said:

“It’s absolute nonsense.  I have not had an altercation with anyone ever.”

Thank you Gina, for setting the record straight!

    I’m catching up with the on going Broward shenanigans so thanks for the link to the judge Bailey reprimand. The Clerks office is poorly run and needs an overhaul. From the filing of the stalking injunction, to the withdrawal, losing election ballots, Forman v. Forman, the list of incompetence is endless.
    Also appreciate all the latest on the SAO/PD potential candidates. I think Sheila Alu should run.

This was in preparation the most holiest of animal sacrifice events on the Muslim calendar, known as Eid-Al-Adha. Coincidentally, ARM recently returned from an international investigation in Bangladesh documenting this same festival.

    The clerk’s office has always been a mess but since Brenda took over it’s steadily declined to a point where she and her cronies have made a real joke of it.

      Child rape is a way of maintaining their terror grip on our society.

      Then denying it and calling people antisemitic if they do put the dots together… just smoke and mirrors.

              the JQC summarily dismissed a complaint of her knowing and intentional criminal acts of misconduct in collusion with another Broward ASSA long before it ever investigated the final nail; one that should have been investigated by at least FDLE and criminally prosecuted and sent her to prison where the slut belongs.

    Why is Florida behind on taping suspect interrogations?

    Since 1989, eight innocent Floridians were wrongfully convicted based on false confessions, and taxpayers covered $38 million in civil awards and settlements in these cases.

    Anthony Caravella was wrongfully imprisoned for 26 years for a rape and murder in Broward County that DNA later proved he did not commit. Mr. Caravella, an intellectually disabled teenager, falsely confessed after enduring a police interrogation that lasted five days. Only his confession was recorded, so the judge and jury did not see the days of coercive questioning that led up to it.

    Last year, Clarens Desrouleaux was exonerated of burglary in Biscayne Park after spending four years in prison. Police officers claimed that Mr. Desrouleaux confessed during an unrecorded interrogation, which was not true. His conviction was overturned after the former Biscayne Park police chief and three officers were found guilty of falsifying arrests, including Mr. Desrouleaux’s, to boost the department’s crime-solving record.

      quoting the New Times: including Caravella, “The prosecutor in the case was Robert Carney, the same man who also had at least a hand in prosecuting three other men wrongfully imprisoned on murder convictions: Frank Lee Smith, John Purvis, and Christopher Clugston.” so they made this scumbag coward marine officer satz ASA a judge so he would allow other satz ASAs to commit misconduct and poison the process to wrongfully obtain more bad convictions, even scoring a monumental triple reversal for it in the 4th: Knight v. State, 672 So.2d 590 (4th DCA 1996), Bacon v. State 672 So2d 658 (Fl. 4thDCA 1996), and Williams v. State 677 So2d 113 (Fl. 4th DCA 1996). What a record!!! and then the this scumbag was replaced by Hispanic vagina gardiner to keep up the corruption without consequence under butterworth blessings.

    I was actually walking down the hall the other say and Gina Hawkins was standing there with the nastiest face as I said good morning. She said nothing. God help us all with these new set of unprofessional disgraceful judges. The sad part is that a lot of them think the have no boss because they do what they please even when Judge Tuter asks them to show up for robbings ..its like a slap in the face to Judge Yuter because they have no respect or professionalism. Judge Perlman is actually one of the main ones who feels an entitlement. She thinks she can be unprofessional and yell at everyone and she will continue to get away with it. She is the most unprofessional judge i have ever seen. Oh wait I forgot Judge Ehrlich was not even as bad as Judge Perlman. Get these wackos off the bench!!!

          Sew it into clothing, in a briefcase you put on the floor, the possibilities are as endless as the imagination.

          The FSC backs you up. As long as they don’t know, how could it have disrupted the court. Same with a fair trial if no on is aware of a recording, and if they are the actual defendant, than they have an absolute right.

          THE CAMERA IS THE NEW GUN.

          Now, the chief judge of the most disciplined circuit in the state, and everyone knows that to be TRUE.

          Perhaps he could write an administrative order with very liberal rules for recording court. At least for defendants.

        There are also notations of 2007 emails from Florida federal prosecutors to Myesha Braden, who was serving as a trial attorney for the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the DOJ’s Criminal Division, regarding securing a pre-indictment consultation contract. This correspondence took place months before Epstein signed the non-prosecution agreement.

        In other words, main Justice was well-informed with the investigation and status of the case.

        The involvement of main Justice raises the question of who made the ultimate decision on Epstein’s sweetheart deal. Was Acosta following orders from main Justice? If so, who issued the orders and how high did it go? Who did Filip and Oosterbaan report to?

        And why did main Justice have such an interest in a South Florida child sex offender?

        This quote from Acosta, cited in a July 9, 2019, Daily Beast article, may provide the answer: “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”

    From the Quora

    Will gun owners fight a civil war if the second amendment was repealed?

    No. Because the civil war will not start over the repeal of the Second Amendment. It will start over the other Amendments that will have to be either repealed or violated to enforce the repeal of the 2nd

    1st Amendment. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, right to peaceably assemble. The only way to enforce a national gun confiscation would be to limit the right to lobby against it, to write articles against it, to prevent citizens from assembling to peacefully protest it, and stop people from petitioning Congress for a redress of their grievances.

    3rd Amendment. The numbers of soldiers it would take to forcibly confiscate 100 to 600 million firearms would require quartering them in private homes.

    4th Amendment. Unreasonable searches and seizures would be required to find and round up the firearms.

    5th Amendment. You will have to compel self incrimination to coerce people to admit their gun ownership. You will have to suspend due process of law to seize the weapons.

    6th Amendment. In order process the required prosecutions of 100 million citizens, you’re going to have to not guarantee a speedy trial, your going to deny them legal counsel, and since a lot of these prosecutions are going to be based on snitches, you’re going to have to deny access and the ability to face the witnesses brought against the gun owners.

    9th Amendment. Just because a right is not enumerated, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Repealing any of the Bill of Rights doesn’t mean we don’t HAVE those rights.

    10th Amendment. If a power isn’t specifically reserved for the Federal government, it is up to the states, and the people to decide. So New York can’t tell Kansas what to do. To enforce nationwide gun confiscation, some bureaucracy in Washington D. C. will have to determine the laws in Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and 47 other states.

    You want to start a revolution? Because THIS is how you start a revolution.

    Edit: these points were suggested…

    You would have to override the state constitutions of 45 states that have a version of the second amendment in their constitution. These states also have their own national guards controlled by the state.

    You would have to create a massive police force because Posse Comitatus forbids using military for domestic law enforcement. You cannot hire contractors because of the anti-Pinkerton law.

    There are many that say it won’t happen and while I agree, for the most part, many unforeseen things could happen. SCOTUS recently affirmed, in District of Columbia v. Heller, that the 2nd Amendment refers to an individual right to own firearms as opposed to a collective right afforded the States. However, this was a 5–4 decision. Had a single justice voted differently, the ramifications could have been huge. The individual State constitutional provisions for firearms could have been struck down as unconstitutional…a true mess.

    Although I would love to think that citizens of this country would actively resist forced gun confiscation, I think that, other than a few isolated instances, most of the citizenry has been browbeaten by the Federal government overstepping their power since the civil war ended, so much that most will roll over and turn them in.

    The turning point for me was Hurricane Katrina. The mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana decided that they did not want citizens having firearms and they actively sent law enforcement, National Guard troops, and even Private Military Contractors like Blackwater, to people’s homes to confiscate weapons.

    There were NO reported instances of any residents refusing or actively resisting, except for an elderly woman who was tackled and beaten black and blue because she had an unloaded revolver in her hand when officials came to her home to enforce a mandatory evacuation order. How anyone can be forced to leave their own property because some official decides it is so is beyond me and another example of government abuse and overstepping their authority.

    It was a sad day for me when I saw firearms being confiscated, yet none of the troops involved protested (they have been so indoctrinated in foreign wars that they don’t question the legality or morality of such orders within their own country) and no citizens fought back. It was like watching a foreshadowing of a possible future and did not go as I expected.

    Lady Liberty shed a tear that day.

      I agree.
      Judicial activities in Broward and Palm Beach Counties are basically old CIA uber diversionary psyops!
      So many examples. Many new revelations.
      Once understood, the future and players involved becomes readable.

    Florida ‘Porn Troll’ Lawyer Gets 5 Years in Prison for Extorting $3M Through Bogus Copyright Lawsuits

    A federal judge in Minnesota sentenced 48-year-old Florida attorney John L. Steele to five years in prison and two years of supervised release Tuesday, for his role in extorting about $3 million from victims to settle bogus copyright infringement lawsuits over pornographic films.

    Steele, with his co-defendant and law partner Paul R. Hansmeier, lied to state and federal courts nationwide between 2011 and 2014, according to prosecutors. They used fake shell companies to obtain copyrights to pornographic movies, even filming some themselves, before uploading them to websites like The Pirate Bay. When unsuspecting John Does downloaded the videos, the attorneys would threaten them with a lawsuit unless they paid a $3,000 settlement.

    Their now-defunct firm Prenda Law was based in Chicago with offices in Minnesota and Florida.

    ‘Eager to pay his debt to society’

    Steele was disbarred after pleading guilty in March 2017 and must also pay $1.5 million in restitution. His attorney, Mark Eiglarsh in Fort Lauderdale, said they’re both pleased with the sentence as the judge and prosecutors took into account how cooperative Steele was compared to his co-defendant, who received 14 years for the same charges.

    “The key to my client’s sentence, and thus, the disparity between his and co-defendant Hansmeier’s, was that immediately after being indicted, my client accepted responsibility,” Eiglarsh said. “He then substantially cooperated with the government for over a year and made significant changes in his personal life. My client is eager to pay his debt to society and then get back to spending as much time with his 11-year-old daughter, who he adores.”

    Brian Levine, senior counsel of the District of Minnesota’s computer crime division, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Benjamin F. Langner and David MacLaughlin prosecuted the case, which stemmed from investigations by the FBI and IRS.

    I was going to write a long post about the current acrimonious culture in the Broward County Courthouse and possible healthy remedies for this situation and then I realized that all I really wanted to say is that Bill Gelin is a complete and total self-absorbed asshole. Have a nice day.

      Acosta showed he was a savvy worm at his lengthy news conference, but methinks this Epstein stink is just getting started; & started upward. Plea OK’d at the “main” DC DOJ? That’s a heavy lift. Some folks called in some big favors; undoubtedly some we’d recognize. I can almost hear the nervous murmuring.

        I had no idea what Teresa got me involved with until Judge Phillips threw me out of his court.
        She promised me a lead position in the felony division if she won, but thank God for Broward she lost.

        We had to shut down our firm because of her nefarious activities.

    I am astonished and highly satisfied with the information you give us.
    The topic is burning too, so I suggest I’ll read it twice,
    as I did with this article https://ridethenation.org/philosophy-degree/. Last
    but not least is that I can share this information with friends of mine and
    get their pleasure from the specified material as well.
    Let such info be!

    Who can write more clearly than you about such things!

    I promise you, nobody, I have seen something like this only on https://stephaniefleshman.com/. I enjoyed the
    guide and assume you have more such stuff? If yes, so please post it since it’s somewhat unusual for me in the
    current moment, and not only for me, that is my
    view. Hopefully, I can find an in-depth guide
    of yours and take note of all of the news and the latest data.
