The recently released news about FBI Agents filing for Search Warrants to obtain access to Social Media Accounts belonging to Phylicia Barnes and 4 men from Baltimore in an effort to determine if a Child Pornography and Child Exploitation Crime has occurred involving the Monroe, N.C. Honor Teen, has sparked a Media frenzy on Blog Sites, and produced a variety of new theories of what may have happened to the Barnes Kid. A simple peruse of many online Media sources list a host of rationalizations on why Police may be after Email, Facebook, Yahoo, and AOL Accounts. Though aspects of the Federal Affidavit remain sealed as it relates to the Pornography and Exploitation angles, many sites depict a scenario of Phylicia having fallen victim to a Child Pornography Ring, and even sex slavery as possibilities involving the tragic ending of Phylicia Barnes. The FBI submitted the Affidavit May 30 and Authorities have been consistently tight lipped about details of the case understandably not to tip off possible suspect involved in this heinous crime. It’s interesting to see the kinds of articles being produced which point to far fetched synopsis of the case. Child Slavery nor Prostitution has never been mentioned as a possible angle by any of the Police Agencies conducting the Investigation. Statements have been made regarding Pornographic Images, Explicit Videos, and it isn’t clear if these items are in fact that of Phylicia. Common sense would lead one to believe that this perception is the most logical explanation for such a Search Warrant. Not so fast though. Lets take a closer look at Child Pornography and Child Exploitation. When these terms are used we tend to conclude that it’s sickening graphic sexual images of small children, and that Exploitation is the solicitation of children for some superficial or monetary gain. Those closely monitoring this case can clearly see that Police efforts on the Porn and Exploit issues more than likely are not related to an atypical Child Pedophilia scenario. Let’s assume that Phylicia made a typical teen error and sent nude or sexually explicit images of herself to an adult male. At age 16 such images are in fact Child Pornography. Now let’s assume that the adult male in turn sends these images to a number of his adult male friends. That is in fact Child exploitation. The very words exploit means to use unfairly for one’s own advantage. Sexual abuse can take the form of child exploitation for example, by photographing the child in a compromising situation, with the intent to either use the photos for their own sexual stimulation or to sell the photos as pornography. Keep in mind my example offers the hypothetical situation with Phylicia voluntarily sending compromising images of herself to an adult male. However, when news broke about the Pornography and Exploitation angles, it was reported that the volume of Pornography found during the Investigation led authorities to believe that a crime had occurred. Considering the magnitude of the Investigation a volume of nude images, especially if they are that of young Phylicia Barnes, would almost certainly send a red flag to Police. What does all of this convey to us? The Legal Age of Consent in the State of Maryland is in fact 16. This is crucial in understanding what Authorities are alleging may have occurred prior to this child’s tragic ending. We must ask ourselves what kind of images were discovered? What compromising situation was Philicia in? Were the images captured via hidden camera or were they forced, and if so why have Authorities only offered persons of interest and not a complete suspect? The Child Pornography Exploitation angles don’t make sense if none of the previous rhetorical analogies apply to the purported Pornographic Images. Without proof that any of the 4 Baltimore Men either utilized the subject images for sexual gratification or solicitation for profit, a Child Pornography and Child Exploitation indictment would fall fatly on it’s face.What are they really after here?

Technology’s Role in Finding the Killer

We have all listened to the sickening interview conducted by “TwoPeasintheirPod” on Blog Talk Radio with the older Barnes siblings, heard Deena and Kelly Barnes apathetic version of the events that led up to Phylicia’s disappearance and subsequent murder, and we all are probably highly suspect of Deena’s Ex-Boyfriend (Micheal Johnson was the last person to reportedly have saw Phylica alive & hired an attorney even after Police proclaimed he was not a suspect). The Ex-Boyfriend’s Cousin/Brother issue was mind boggling until it was determined that they both were in fact at the apartment on the day Philicia went missing. All of these factors are suspect and very intriguing, but there is one element of the case that hasn’t been talked about much and I believe it is being done purposefully. I recall reports having serviced regarding a post on Phylicia’s Myspace Account. Two messages  caught the attention of detectives. One, marked December 28 read, “wit my sis n bmore.” Another message, apparently left December 31, three days after Barnes was reported missing read, “bored as hell…..save me lol.” Authorities don’t offer the actual time that the post were made, but deena Barnes has repeatedly stated that Phylicia was asleep when she left for work. One account by Deena has Phylicia talking with her about plans for later that day prior to her departure for work. Which ever of those two accounts are accurate, when was Phylicia with Deena or Kelly that day as the post on Phylicia’s Myspace Page suggested? What about the December 31 Post? Three days after Phylicia is reported missing she post on Myspace again, but doesn’t contact her Sisters, Mother or anyone to let them know she is alright and not in harms way. This is highly suspicious and not quite clear as to whether or not she purposefully avoided contacting family or was being held against her own will. The abduction theory may gain some leverage here, because Authorities did execute a Search Warrant at a West Baltimore residence after acquiring a tip that the teen may be possibly being held there. The Search didn’t turn up any leads. It appears that the despite determining signs of an actual abduction that the Myspace post on December 28 and 31 may still be the most promising aspects of this entire Murder Mystery. Why would Phylicia not contact her family? Police could not confirm if Phylicia posted the later message. Police won’t admit it on the record, but I don’t believe they think Phylicia actually made the December 31 Myspace Post. This is where Technology may come into play. Revisiting the Child Pornography & Exploitation angles, the  fact that they don’t make sense baring some bona fide evidence not made public, and the interesting Search Warrants for Social Media Accounts points to an attempt by Police to discover something related to those suspicious Myspace Post. It is very possible and highly likely that police want to know who made the Myspace post on December 31, the manner in which it was transmitted (a PC, Cell Phone, etc), what device was utilized, and the owner of the device used. Let’s face it, if Police can’t determine that Phylicia actually made the post, it tends to indicate a suspicion on their part related to the messages, and persons that may have been responsible for making them clearly did so to create deception regarding the status of young Phylicia Barnes. The party(s) who did so are also at minimum at the very apex of the child’s demise. If this theory holds true, the FBI in particular will have no problem in acquiring how the messages were transmitted. This probably more so than likely is why Authorities want access to Social Media Accounts. In the age of Modern Technology a lot can be determined via the use of GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and Data generated through Internet Sources.

Internet Protocol Address (I.P. Addy) Factors

Those Tech savvy ones of us know how Internet Data is generated, stored, transfered, and as well as how this information has become a highly successful tool in solving many of society’s crimes in modern times. The sick pathetic bastards who killed this promising child probably dont have the slightest clue of how I’m sure they will ultimately be caught. Let me give you a textbook explanation of how an I.P. Addy is significant in possibly solving this crime and others. Any device transmitting Data to a Internet Protocol is assigned an address unique from billions of other users on the World Wide Web . In lay man terms your device sends a signal to a satellite in outer space that relay a digital signal back to your Internet enabled Device. Now I don’t care if your on a PC, Laptop, Cell Phone, Wireless Network item (like a Game Boy, PSP Game, Wireless printer, Fax, etc) or anything that accesses the Internet, you can be tracked. That being said, it can easily give authorities a general idea who made those Myspace post on December 31. If Phylicia was still in fact alive on the day the messages were transmitted, the Authorities can still determine where they were made and the device used. Hell the suspect can even destroy the device and Police can still determine certain information because of the GPS association with most Internet Service Providers and the Data Encryption information. Bottom line if your online the probability of determining information regarding your Internet usage is in the high 90% range.

Investigative Tactics

Police typically  have a good idea who may have committed certain crimes, but the task of making a case that can be presented to a jury and obtaining a conviction is an extremely difficult accomplishment. This is especially true in a Town like Baltimore who is notorious for aquittals by Juries in cases that should have ended in conviction. This is one area that I personally empathize with Police. I believe that Authorities have held suspicions all along but didn’t gain progress until the Child Pornography and Exploitation element of the case was born. With Phylicia being 16 years old, those nude images may have just been the break Police needed to gain access to Media Accounts which can provide critical Data Information surrounding Internet usage, and in this instance, the Myspace account of Phylicia Barnes. Assuming her demise had already occurred on December 31 it must be determined who also had access to her media Accounts (Username, Password, etc). If this entire scenario and perspective has any validity what so ever, we may finally be nearing  Justice for Phylicia. I remain in Prayer for Janice Sallis, the innocent Barnes family members, and all who knew and loved this child. May God continue comforting them all.

If you are one of the Bank Of America Customers whose Bank Account has been hit with continuous Over Draft fees from 2001 thru 2011, there is very good news. The hefty $35.oo over draft fee was a constant concern for many who patronized one of North America’s largest Banks, and even sparked an army of loyal BOA consumers to migrate to other Financial Institutions. Despite the massive exodus of long time customers, BOA continued it’s practices of essentially robbing it’s customers with the infamous heavy over draft penalties that many have been questioning the legality of for the past decade. Recently Attorney’s for an unnamed Client who initiated a Class Action Lawsuit against the Financial Conglomerate were able to broker a deal with the Bank. The terms of the settlement list a Trust of over 410 Million dollars to recoup loses that BOA Customers have had levied against their Accounts fo the past ten years. Though the terms of the settlement remain unapproved by Federal Courts, it does offer hope for restitution  for Banking Patrons who fell prey to an extremely abusive business practice. BOA Customer volume had been on a spiraling decline for years. The Bank’s profit margin appeared un effected by the loss of banking patrons due to it’s positioning of customer debit purchase transactions. BOA Policy Makers who instituted the practice afforded he bank to profit from Billions of dollars, and it came at the expense of it’s most valued asset; loyal customers. Here is how it worked:

Customers making Debit Card or Credit Card Purchases with Bank of America are offered the Bill Pay Feature upon establishing a Checking Account. The requirements for setting up the Account is as minimal as $25.00 (in comparison to most Banks who require $150.00). The Bill Pay feature is a Marketing tool sold to Customers under the auspice that your purchases would be covered in the event your spending exceeds the account’s available spending dollars. The advertisements site embarrassment and the assurance that your bills will be paid as a strong selling point to new customers. What they don’t tell you is that they secretly and meticulously scrutinize individual accounts, monitoring buying habits & spending trends, and position higher ticked Debit Sales for priority during the collection process. So, say a customer goes to Macy’s and make a purchase totaling $150.00 on Saturday, purchases $450.00 worth of gardening tools on Monday, the customer’s Bank credits are $350.00 as of Saturday Morning. The Customer assumes that earlier purchases would be due for payment first, and knows his/her Direct Deposit from their salary hits the Bank before Midnight on Tuesday morning. The 24 hour process it normally takes to process Debit/Credit purchases allows for a small window so that these purchases can be covered right? Wrong! BOA practices show that higher purchases like the $450.00 purchase are prioritized for payment even though the purchase was made two days after lower ticketed Debit purchases. this is a trend that I know I have personally observed for quite some time. I often wondered why purchases made 3-4 days later were sought for payment prior to earlier items at a lesser value.

It appeared  that individuals charge to process Debit purchases for BOA could work much expeditiously for higher Debit items, and it was extremely transparent. This is just a hypothetical synopsis of BOA practices and I am sure that their tactics are far more abusive. Also, other alarming trends by BOA is the fact that many retailers encourage patrons to utilize the Credit feature of Checking Cards. These practices have been rumored to afford sellers a $5.00 kickback per Credit purchase transaction. Ever make a purchase and try to utilize your Debit Card only to be told that the Debit Machine is malfunctioning and they can only take Credit Purchases? Well a little research and a lot of common since reveals that the process which require the proper functionality of these Debit/Credit Devices are exactly the same. The machine requires a modem to dial up to a Central Verification Network to obtain validity and authenticity of a Bank Card. Most Companies utilize VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) to achieve this task. Why is it that some machines can only dial up to verify Credit Purchases and not ones requesting Debit? They dial up to the same Central Processing Center. I personally have walked out of establishments who tell me they can only accommodate Credit transactions, because I’m educated on the inner dealings of Banking Institutions and their third party business associates. This particular practice is not however limited or unique to BOA, as many other Banks are implementing this policy. It is my hope that a Class Action will follow this recent suit against Bank of America. The onset of such a litigation will more than likely impact multiple Banking Firms if not all. However, the current BOA Class named in the impending settlement with BOA is scheduled for another hearing in November of 2011 for the purpose of determining the Legal Fees involving the case. The Notice sent to Customers listed in this Settlement Class indicate that the Legal Fees may run up to about %30 of the overall settlement. Not a bad hit to take if your over draft penalties run into the hundreds or thousand dollar range. The Settlement also offers the option for Class Members to exclude being listed in the Class for the purpose of individuals own personal Litigation Ambitions, as many may want to pursue Punitive Damages against BOA. Either option that those included in the Class choose, it appears to be a small victory for the People as vindication no matter how small it may be in comparison to the Billions already capitalized on by Bank of America. Your check will be in the mail and you don’t have to lift a finger!

Could it be that young Phylicia Barnes’ Murder case has now switched gears temporarily to pursue possible Child Pornography and Child Exploitation crimes involving the pretty Monroe, NC Honor teen? Could it be that authorities now believe that the child’s Killer was one of 4 Baltimore Men (over 18) that Phylicia apparently exchanged emails with? Could it also be possible that our young Flower sent sexually explicit images to 1 or all 4 of these Men? Baltimore Men I said! I will discuss that angle shortly. However, these rhetorical questions are  probably dancing around in the heads of many followers of this Tragic Case in light of Documents made Public, which were filed in Maryland U.S. District Court highlighting an FBI Special Agent assigned to the State’s Child Exploitation Task Force request for Facebook, Yahoo, and AOL Accounts of the Barnes Teen and at least 3 other people. Authorities say they are seeking access to the accounts as part of a Child Pornography Investigation and Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, though the affidavits that spell out that angle remain sealed and agencies involved in the case refused to comment. The warrants seek access to two Yahoo email accounts and one AOL email account that include Barnes’ first name, along with her Facebook page. In the May 10 federal court filing, unsealed on June 30, FBI Special Agent Jacqueline Dougher, who works from the Baltimore field office with the state’s child exploitation task force, also requested access to three other Facebook pages and four other email accounts that appear to be associated with Baltimore men. At least one is linked to a man with the same name as a man previously interviewed by police. The documents say that authorities “have reason to believe that” within the accounts there is evidence related to a violation of “sexual exploitation of children” and “distribution and possession of child pornography.”

Apparently Russel Barnes was contacted by Authorities Investigating the case and advised him that the “Child Pornography” and “Child Exploitation” angle would be made public. Considering the circumstances it was a very decent thing to do giving the Elder Barnes a heads up before that kind of information about his Daughter’s Murder hit the Media. Also,  Legal experts say the latest Federal court Filings does not necessarily mean that the case has a sex crime element, but that evidence of sexually explicit material discovered during the investigation is being used as an entry into computer accounts that could provide new insight into her death. Russel Barnes was quoted as saying, “They said some people weren’t being truthful, and they had to go get some search warrants,” he said. “They’ve got it wide open now to see what happened.” Going back to the “Baltimore Men” angle I duly noted at the onset of this Blog Post, It should stick out like a sore thumb to all who have followed this case, the fact that Phylicia reportedly according to her family didn’t know anyone in Baltimore other than her three older siblings. I personally can’t help but recall media reports from the early stages of the Case’ development, in particular one of Phylicia’s friends account that she allegedly told her about the door to older Sister Deena Barne’ Apartment never being locked, and the high volume of traffic in and out. The Media reported that Police described the older Barnes’ Apartment as a College Flop House with people coming and going all the time. My point here is that if it’s true that Phylicia didn’t know anyone from Baltimore, her apparent association with Baltimore Men via Cyber Social Networking, more then likely derived from those males frequenting Deena’s apartment. On a hunch I am guessing that the male highlighted in the Federal Warrant, and previously interviewed by police, is one of the Young Men related to Deena’s so called Ex-Boyfriend. The Cousin/Brother who Deena seemed to not  be able to recall accurately is the male I am referring to here. It’s just a hunch, but we will see as these latest developments play out. The Child Pornography and Child Exploitation angles are very intriguing and shocking. Though those angles of the U.S. Court affidavit remain sealed, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that some Sexually Explicit Material was transfered between Phylicia and the 3 Baltimore Men. Why else would the FBI Child Exploitation Division be seeking Email and Social Media Accounts? It’s ordinary practice for law enforcement to get search warrants on everybody and anybody who’s related to a Case of this magnitude to see if there’s other evidence of other crimes. A tip is not enough for a Judge, especially a Federal Judge to issue a search warrant. There has to be reliability to  the filed affidavit and probable cause that indicates that a crime has occurred. Is this a tactic being used by the FBI to hammer away at individuals with knowledge of the case, individuals whose accounts don’t add up, or persons of interest who appear suspicious? It seems that the Child Pornography and Child Exploitation angle may become a bargaining tool to rattle cages and get people to start talking. The fear of Federal Indictment on these charges just may be what’s needed to finally get to the bottom of Phylicia’s tragic ending. I remain troubled by the volume of men in and out of Deena Barnes’ apartment. For what purpose were all of these people there for? Why was this child left alone with with a strange male relative of Deena’s Boyfriend? If you recall doing the Blog Talk Interview, Deena states that her Ex was there to pick up a Cousin/Brother. Later on in the BTI it’s revealed by Deena that this relative actually lived there. This New Development is shocking and adds further insight into the events that led up to this child’s death. The Federal Warrants also leaves no doubt that the sexually explicit material found during the Investigation is undoubtedly Pornographic Images of young Phylicia Barnes. As always I’ll be monitoring this case as the story continues to develope.

Orlando, FL Police Investigating the 2008 disappearance of 21/2 year old Caylee Anthony found Google Search  queries for “Chloroform”, how to make it, and searches for neck breaking on the young child Mother’s home computer. It would seem that such circumstantial evidence would be significant and determining that the Tot’s Mom was involved in the disappearance and subsequent death of the Anthony Toddler. In the eyes of many this evidence was enough, and Casey was found guilty in the eyes of Public Opinion long before authorities could spur an indictment against her. Investigators also learned on the day that Caylee’s Maternal Grand Mother reported her missing that the child had been missing for a little over a month (31 days).

Then the Circus began, resulting in Casey being arrested multiple times on unrelated minor charges for theft and unauthorized use of Credit Cards. The Media launched a smear campaign to highlight what many within the American Public considered to be, “White Trash”, and an army of people affiliated with the “Tot Mom” came forward revealing valuable and crucial knowledge about Casey related to the case. Police were able to tear down a wall of lies that Casey made on record to authorities. When the Capitol Murder trail began Florida’s District Attorneys Office publicly announce that the State planed to seek the Death Penalty. Those hopes all came crashing down today when the Jury’s verdict was read and Casey was acquitted on the three Felony Charges of Murder, Child Neglect, and Manslaughter respectively. The People did convict the “Tot Mom” on 4 lesser indictments of providing False Information to police. The troubled young Mom offered what appeared to be dry tears as a sign of relief upon learning of her acquittal. Casey then openly smiled and offered a hugging session with her Defense Team as they all paraded around the Court Room with expressions of jubilation. Many say this high profile Capitol Murder Case resembled the “Case of the Century”, when the Jury acquitted famed NFL Great O.J. Simpson for Murder. Like the O.J. Case, it was widely believed that the People would be vindicated and Casey Anthony would be found guilty of murdering her own daughter. A greater number of people within the public particularly the African American Community are not surprised by today’s verdict, as the State presented only highly circumstantial evidence, and no smoking gun which is generally required as a standard when whites are similarly situated in cases involving violent crimes committed by blacks. Regardless of the arguments presented by any personal or political perspective, the end result remains the same. Casey Anthony walked in a Capitol Murder Case that society at large believes she committed, and there still is no justice for young Caylee Anthony.

The Casey Anthony Story

   Caylee Marie Anthony (August 9, 2005 – c. June 16, 2008)[1] was a child from Orlando, Florida, whose disappearance in June 2008 attracted national media attention. Caylee’s skeletal remains were discovered December 11, 2008, six months after she was reported missing by her grandmother, Cindy Anthony.[2] Her mother, Casey Anthony, decided not to report her daughter missing, and was indicted on charges of felony murder, though she continued to maintain her innocence throughout her trial. Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter, but guilty of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. According to Casey Anthony’s father, George Anthony, Casey left the family’s home on June 16, 2008,[3] taking Caylee (who was almost 3) with her and did not return for 31 days.[4] Cindy asked repeatedly during the month to see Caylee, but Casey claimed that she was too busy with a work assignment in Tampa, Florida. At other times, she said Caylee was with a nanny, later identified by Casey as Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, or at theme parks or the beach.[5] It was eventually determined that although Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez did in fact exist, she had never met Casey nor Caylee Anthony, any member of the Anthony family, or any of Casey’s friends. On July 13, 2008, while doing yard work, Cindy and George Anthony found a notice from the post office for a certified letter affixed on their front door. George Anthony picked up the certified letter from the post office on July 15, 2008, and found that his daughter’s car was in a tow yard.[7] When George picked up the car, both he and the tow yard attendant noted a strong smell coming from the trunk. Both later testified that they believed the odor to be that of a decomposing body.[8] When the trunk was opened it contained a bag of trash, but no human remains.[9]

Caylee Anthony was reported missing to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office on July 15, 2008,[3] by her grandmother, Cindy. During the same call, Casey Anthony acknowledged to the 911 operator that Caylee had been missing “for 31 days”.[10][11] A distraught Cindy also told the 911 operator “There is something wrong. I found my daughter’s car today and it smells like there’s been a dead body in the damn car.” When Detective Yuri Melich, with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, began investigating the disappearance of Caylee Anthony, he found discrepancies in Casey’s signed statement.[13] When questioned, Casey said Caylee had been kidnapped by her nanny, Zanny. Although Casey had talked about Zanny, she had never been seen by Casey’s family or friends, and in fact there was no nanny.[5][14] Casey also told police that she worked at Universal Studios, a lie she had been telling her parents for years. Investigators brought Casey to Universal Studios on July 16, 2008, the day after Caylee was reported missing, and asked her to show them her office. Casey led police around for a while before admitting that she had been fired years before.[15] Casey Anthony was first arrested on July 16, 2008,[3] and was charged the following day with giving false statements, child neglect, and obstruction of a criminal investigation. The judge denied bail, saying Casey had shown “woeful disregard for the welfare of her child.”[14] On August 21, 2008, after one month of incarceration, Casey Anthony was released from the Orange County jail after her $500,200 bond was posted by the nephew of California bail bondsman Leonard Padilla[16] in hopes that Casey would cooperate and Caylee would be found.[17] She was arrested again on August 29, 2008, on charges of forgery, fraudulent use of personal information, petty theft for forging $700 worth of checks and using her friend’s credit cards without permission.[18] Leonard Padilla, whose nephew posted Casey Anthony’s bail, stated that if he had known before the bail was posted what he learned later, including that Anthony would not cooperate with him, he probably would not have helped get her out of jail. On August 11, 12, and 13, 2008, tips of a suspicious object found in a forested area near the Anthony residence were called in to police by a meter reader, Roy Kronk. However, a search was not conducted at that time. After another report from the same man on December 11, 2008, human remains were found in a plastic bag. Duct tape was found on the face of the skull.[20][21][22][23] [24] On December 12, the remains were tentatively identified as Caylee’s. On December 15, WFTV reported that more bones were found in the wooded area near the spot where the remains had initially been discovered.[26] On December 19, 2008, medical examiner Jan Garavaglia confirmed that the remains found were those of Caylee Anthony. The death was ruled a homicide and the cause of death listed as undetermined.

Casey Anthony was offered a limited immunity deal by prosecutors until September 2, 2008 but did not take it. On September 5, 2008, Casey Anthony was released again on bail after being fitted with an electronic tracking device.[31] Casey Anthony was arrested for the third time on September 15, 2008, on new charges of theft,[32] and was released shortly afterward.[33] Her $500,000 bond was posted anonymously,[34] and it was later revealed that her parents, Cindy and George Anthony, signed a promissory note for the bond. On October 14, 2008, Casey Anthony was indicted by a grand jury on charges of felony murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and four counts of providing false information to police.[36] She was arrested for the fourth time. She entered a plea of not-guilty to the charges that she killed Caylee.[33] On October 21, 2008, the charges of child neglect were dropped against Casey. In a statement that morning, the State Attorney’s Office explained: “The neglect charges were premised on the theory that Caylee was still alive. As the investigation progressed and it became clear that the evidence proved that the child was deceased, the State sought an indictment on the legally appropriate charges. On April 13, 2009, prosecutors announced that they planned to seek the death penalty in this case. The case attracted a large amount of national media attention, and was regularly the main topic of many TV talk shows, including those hosted by Greta Van Susteren, Nancy Grace, Geraldo Rivera, and others. It has been featured on Fox’s America’s Most Wanted,[39] NBC’s Dateline, and ABC’s 20/20.

Nancy Grace first referred to Casey Anthony as the “tot mom”[40][41][42] and urged the public to let “the professionals, the psychics and police” do their job.[3][43][44][45][46]

Casey Anthony’s parents, Cindy and George, appeared on The Today Show on October 22, 2008. They maintained their belief that Caylee was alive and would be found.[47] Larry Garrison, president of SilverCreek Entertainment, was their spokesman until he resigned in November 2008, citing that he was leaving due to “the Anthony family’s erratic behavior.”[48]

More than 6,000 pages of evidence released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, including hundreds of instant messages between Casey and ex-boyfriend Tony Rusciano, have been the subject of increased scrutiny by the media for clues and possible motives in the homicide.[49] Rusciano, a rookie Orange County deputy, was fired for lying about his sexual relationship with Casey Anthony.[3]

Outside the Anthony home, WESH TV 2 reported that protesters repeatedly shouted “baby killer”[50] and that George Anthony was physically attacked.[51] George Anthony was reported missing on January 22, 2009, after he failed to show up for a meeting with his lawyer, Brad Conway. George was found in a Daytona Beach hotel the next day after sending messages to family members threatening suicide. He was taken to Halifax Hospital for psychiatric evaluation[52] and later released.

The LA Weekly made a comparison between this case and the OJ Simpson murder trial. The Anthony case broke new ground regarding scientific evidence.

University of Tennessee’s “Body farm” discovered “hair banding”, a phenomenon in which hair roots can form a dark band after death. A hair found in the trunk of the Anthony car exhibited this pattern.[51] Air samples were to sent to University of Tennessee’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.[51]

On Friday, October 24, 2008, a forensic report by Dr. Arpad Vass of the Oak Ridge Laboratory in Tennessee stated that results from an air sampling procedure (called LIBS) performed in the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car showed chemical compounds “consistent with a decompositional event” based on the presence of five key chemical compounds out of over 400 possible chemical compounds that Dr. Vass’s research group considers typical of decomposition (human decomposition was not specified). Whether or not the decomposition was human is still unknown, but was indicated as a possibility. The process has not been affirmed by a Daubert Test in the courts.[54] Dr. Vass’s group also stated there was the presence of chloroform in the car trunk. In evidence hearings in March and April 2011, Dr. Ken Furton, a biochemist and nuclear chemist, pointed out with examples from various studies that there is no consensus in the field on what chemicals are typical of human decomposition.[citation needed]

DNA samples could not confirm whether the source was alive or dead. The only DNA testing by the FBI was limited to 752 base pairs out of 16,569 base pairs (less than 5% of the mitochondrial genome sequence). Evidence was found that someone had searched the Internet on Casey Anthony’s computer for the use of the chloroform and how to make it.[55] On November 26, 2008, officials released 700 pages of documents related to the Anthony investigation, which included evidence of Google searches of the terms “neck breaking”, “how to make chloroform”, and “death” on Casey Anthony’s home computer.[56]

Investigators also entered into the body of evidence a photo from the computer of Ricardo Morales, an ex-boyfriend of Casey Anthony, which depicts a joke in which a man is using a chloroform-soaked rag to drug a woman. Casey and Caylee Anthony had stayed with Morales on several occasions until June 9, 2008.[citation needed]

On February 18, 2009, documents released by the State Attorney’s Office in Florida indicated that the same type of laundry bag, duct tape, and plastic bags discovered at the crime scene were found in the house where Casey and Caylee resided. Heart-shaped stickers were also recovered by investigators. According to an FBI laboratory email, a heart-shaped outline was originally seen on the duct tape that was recovered from the mouth area of Caylee’s skull, but the laboratory was not able to capture the heart shape photographically and could no longer see it after the duct tape was dusted for fingerprint processing. The documents also indicate that Cindy Anthony stated to them that a Winnie the Pooh blanket was missing from Caylee’s bed. This type of blanket was found at the crime scene. An entry from Casey Anthony’s diary was also released.[57]

The following diary entry by Casey Anthony is dated “June 21” and reads:

I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out OK. I completely trust my own judgment and know that I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies the means. I just want to know what the future will hold for me. I guess I will soon see – This is the happiest that I have been in a very long time. I hope that my happiness will continue to grow– I’ve made new friends that I really like. I’ve surrounded myself with good people – I am finally happy. Let’s just hope that it doesn’t change.[58]

Transfer writing (imprints of writing) from other pages of the diary revealed the mention of a person named Kenneth, whom Casey had dated in 2003. A member of Casey Anthony’s defense team, spokeswoman Marti MacKenzie, contends that this entry was written in 2003 prior to Caylee’s birth. The defense contends that the opposite page has “’03” written in one of the corners as the date, and the handwriting on the two pages matches. However, there was no authentication that the “’03” signified a date, or when it was entered in the diary or by whom. The prosecution acknowledged that it did not know when the entry was made.[59] In January 2010, however, an FBI report released in the media stated that the diary in question was not on the market until 2004. Anthony told investigators that she had left 2-year-old Caylee on June 16 with a babysitter named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez – also known as “Zanny” – at a specific Orlando apartment complex. A woman named Zenaida Gonzalez who was on the apartment records as having visited apartments on that date was questioned by police and said she did not know Casey or Caylee.[60] She has since filed a defamation suit seeking compensatory and punitive damages, alleging that Casey willfully damaged her reputation.[61] It was reported that Anthony would be exercising her rights under the Fifth Amendment in response to written questions in the civil case.[62] The civil trial is set for August 29, 2011. On June 30, 2010, Andrea Lyon presented a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel representing Casey Anthony.[63] Linda Kenney-Baden withdrew in October 2010. Both cited travel costs as a barrier in continuing to represent Anthony.[64]

Brad Conway, the attorney representing Casey Anthony’s parents, withdrew in mid-August 2010, citing allegations in a defense motion that he received special treatment in reviewing records. Conway claimed these allegations were false, but that this now made him a witness in the case, which forced him to withdraw. Jury selection began on May 9, 2011, at the Pinellas County Criminal Justice Center in Clearwater, Florida, because the case had been so widely reported in the Orlando area. Jurors were brought from Pinellas County to Orlando.[66] Jury selection took longer than expected and ended on May 20, 2011, with twelve jurors and five alternates being sworn in.[67] The panel contained nine women and eight men. It was estimated that the trial would last about two months, during which the jury would be sequestered to avoid influence from information available outside the courtroom.[68]

The trial began on May 24, 2011, at the Orange County Courthouse, with Judge Belvin Perry presiding. In the opening statements, prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick described the story of the disappearance of Caylee Anthony day-by-day. The defense, led by Jose Baez, presented its claim that Caylee drowned accidentally in the family’s pool on June 16, 2008, and was found by George Anthony, who then covered up Caylee’s death. Baez also alleged that George Anthony had sexually abused Casey since she was eight years old, and also claimed that Casey’s brother Lee had made sexual advances toward Casey; he was even given a paternity test to see if he was Caylee’s father.[69] However, the defense offered no proof of any sexual abuse of Casey by either George or Lee Anthony; consequently the defense was not allowed to mention claims of sexual abuse in their closing arguments. The prosecution alleged an intentional murder and sought the death penalty against Casey Anthony. On June 30, the defense team for Casey Anthony rested, without Anthony testifying in her own defense.[71] The jury began deliberations on July 4. On July 5, the jury found Casey Anthony not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter, or aggravated child abuse, but guilty on four counts of misdemeanor providing false information to a law enforcement officer.[73] Anthony will be sentenced on Thursday, July 7 at 9 a.m. ET on the conviction of giving false information to law enforcement officers.[74] Anthony faces a maximum of one year in county jail for each count she was found guilty of. Due to already having spent years in county jail awaiting trial, it is possible, having already time-served, that she may be released on the date of her sentencing, July 7, 2011. 

The night skies will be filled with star bombs bursting in mid air as, food, fun, good times, and I am sure much laughter with great cheer will set the tone for the Spirit of the People, while America celebrates another 4th of July Holiday in commemoration of this young Nation’s  freedom from British Rule. The voice of the people has been heard for over 200 years here in the land now known as the Home of Liberty. While the American Citizens enjoy this season with much Pomp and Circumstance, a more telling tale is depicted within the plight of some of our most beleaguered Countryman.

The U.S. shores swelter with vast resources, some of our Native Son’s personal wealth exceed that of some Sovereign Nations, and many who possess the financial ability to resolve the Economic woes of the masses, yield not to the cry for emphatic human compassion. We see their struggle night and day on the platforms of the New York Subway,  the Village of the Homeless in Heartland America, on the steam vents of Hollywood’s walk of Fame, the Bayous of the South, and even on the door steps of Landmarks in our Nation’s Capitol.  From every mountain side of America the bells of “True Liberty” have yet to be heard. The Song of Liberty falls upon death ears while the simple request for spare change is deemed annoying, all along while many of America’s desolate who beg for Liberty have served her well in Foreign Wars. Lets not forget America’s poor children whose lives entail the sounds of gunshots, crime scene tape, death all around them, those who endure drug addicted parenting, and all of which has become common place even though they bare the highly coveted title of American Citizen. The sight of them pilferaging through trash for food is met with discuss, their mere rags for attire illuminates with an aroma of the darkest depths of America, and their cargo in tow tells a story of a long forgotten and seemingly invisible class of U.S. Citizens. This is their story, their struggle, and we must be reminded constantly that  they too are our Brothers and Sisters. The intelligent mind must assume that a mere rough patch in life could instantly become their reality.

To many here in the U.S. the Independence Day Celebration is a Patriotic and necessary endeavor, but the lives of so many will be spent grappling for basic physiological necessities. When the skyline is filled with the celebratory glare of Freedom and Liberty, we must pause to hear their cries for vindication, relief from deplore, their restoration of Human Dignity, and their longing for escape from despair. We can not celebrate with good conscience knowing that American People living on these shores remain in bondage, a captive to poverty, and seated on a lonely island starving for redemption from their fallen place. Oh American of thee I sing. Land where my father’s died, and land where the Pilgrims still Cry! God Bless America, and God Bless the Homeless today. For they too are American and long for Liberty!

I’m David Adams

Her hair was a natural Honey Blonde. The golden locks ran the length of her back and her appearance commanded the attention of every male who’s eyes ever rested upon her. The small petite frame of Lydia Franklin was a sight to behold, many would say. To me PL (Pretty Lydia) was family. I met her during my teen years when I worked  with her Dad at Tony Linhart’s (Baltimore Colts Great) Direct Marketing Association. Summer BBQ invites to the Franklin Home in Sandtown resulted in PL and I bonding, hanging out, and becoming inseparable it seems. Lydia would use me to get out of the house. Her Dad only trusted me taking his Daughter out because he saw me as a good Kid. That would have ended had he known we would separate as soon as we were out of his eye sight! We had to be careful though, sometimes when I came over Mr. franklin would quiz me about what Lydia and I had been up too. Teddy Franklin was a Tall lumberjack looking dude with Native American and Trinidadian Heritage. Needless to say, Ted Franklin walked with a big stick. One summer as Lydia and I walked along the Harbor in Fells Point, we bumped into a childhood friend of mine name Steve Lancaster. I began to introduce PL and Stevie but realize that there was no need too. Their eyes were affixed upon each other as if and act of God was happening right before my eyes. I have heard the old cliche “Love at first sight” before, but if I have ever experienced it in this life, it was the day that Ted’s little girl met this poor kid from East Baltimore. I spent the next few weeks fielding calls from PL and Stevie, each asking had I seen the other, and begging me to play match maker. I told Stevie and Lydia the exact same thing you guys have already met what do you guys need me for. I hatched a plan to arrange another meeting with them which resulted in the exchange of their phone numbers and the rest was history. I had a hard time selling Steve Lancaster to Big Ted Franklin though. I remember as it were only a few hours ago, the day I brought Stevie to a BBQ in Sandtown. Big Ted kept asking me who is this guy Lydia been with all day? I eventually had a sidebar with him about Stevie, and I got the shock of my life. The entire time I was briefing him about PL’s New Boyfriend, Mr. Franklin had a look of complete disdain. I actually wondered if I would leave the Franklin Home alive, because I knew that Lydia was his entire World. After I was done Ted was silent for a while, leaned forward in his seat as I quivered in mine, and he began to speak in a soft tone. “Well, that’s a surprise. I thought for sure you were going to marry my Daughter”. I was like, huh? I had to explain to Big Ted that I had never so much as kiss his Daughter. He leaned back in his chair, looking down, and appeared disappointed. We set there silent for a while both looking extremely puzzled. Had he known I did bed a lot of her Friends after Lydia had played match maker, he probably would have thrown me out of his Home. So, he began to quiz me about Stevie asking where I knew him from, was he a good kid, and whether he was using a condom with his Daughter. I quickly responded, “Whoa, whoa Mr. T”. Your asking about stuff I can’t answer for you. He went on to say to me that I should know how he is and that he wasn’t ready to be a Grand Father. I set him at ease and explained that I had groomed his Daughter well, and that wasn’t an issue. Ted Franklin asked me, “So, you approve of this”? I couldn’t believe that he was asking for my word on this. I recall us talking a little longer and ending the conversation with Ted telling me to bring Stevie by the house a few more times. He wanted to get to know him more before he understandably, felt comfortable with letting this kid date his Daughter.

Things went very well for PL and Stevie. They were never seen apart as far back as I can remember. Then in the Summer of 1991 Steve Lancaster, with a fresh Bachelors Degree in his hand from Bucknell University, married Lydia Arnell Franklin, who was a recent Florida State Graduate herself. It seemed as the love they shared wasn’t marred by distance as they attended College miles apart from each other. In the first few years life went extremely well for PL and Stevie as it seemed they were a match made in heaven. They were both hard working educated people with a new Home in the Baltimore Suburb, Randallstown, MD. I lost contact with the Lancasters for a while as life became busy for us all during our earlier responsible adult years. We would eventually reunite and the Summer BBQs were on and Poppin at Ted Franklins house. We always had a good time when with plenty of food and drinks. In fact I slept a many of nights on the Franklin sofa after a little over indulgence and Big Ted refusing to allow me to venture on home under the influence. One summer I began to observe my Friend Steve displaying signs of distance and removed from those infamous Franklin BBQs. I also noticed he had a a disturbing glare at Lydia when ever she was engaged in conversation with other men. I never knew Stevie to be a jealous type and there didn’t appear to be a reason for him to be either. So, I approached him about it as a concerned friend. Stevie explained to me that he had a suspicion that Lydia was having an Affair. I rebuffed him and told him, Bruh your talking nonsense. Lydia loves you, and always has since the first time she ever laid her eyes on you. It was at that moment that Stevie Lancaster gave me a look I will never forget. The kind of look that was unreadable, dark, empty, and filled with malicious intent. I became concerned, looked over at Lydia, and gazed back at Stevie. His eyes had never been taking off me. Scary and frightening to say the least. I knew then that everything wasn’t as peachy crunch in the Lancaster Home as everyone had thought. I asked Stevie what gives? Where is this coming from? Stevie began to tell me about the strange male garments he had found stuffed in laundry bins in the basement, the scent of cologne around the house that he doesn’t own, and the cigarette buts in ash trays in the den. I told Stevie be reasonable about this. The Cologne could be from anyone stopping by the house, like a Salesman, neighbor or anybody. The strange men clothing could have been left behind by family guest, and you know that Lydia’s best friend Shaliece smokes. Stevie says to me, “There not her brand”. “The cigarettes”. “Shaliece doesn’t smoke those”. Nothing I said seemed to cheer him up nor convince Stevie that Lydia had been faithful to him. I just let it go. It was nearly a year before I saw Lydia and Stevie Lancaster again. I bumped into Stevie at Mondawmin Mall one fall, asked how he was doing, and more importantly if he still felt his wife was having an affair. Stevie became agitated by my inquiry into his marriage. I understood that because although we were childhood friends, we were grown now and some things friends just need to mind their business about. We made plans to hang out and do the BBQ thing at his In-Laws and said goodbye. That was the last time that I would ever see Stevie again. I remember watching the local news one evening and saw a news clip about a double Homicide in Randallstown. The neighborhood appeared to be very close to where Stevie and Lydia lived. My subconscious thought did Stevie do something? I quickly dismissed that idea as i knew that level of violence wasn’t in his nature. Sadly though, I watched the news and the Home draped in yellow Crime Scene tape appeared to be the Lancaster’s House. I watched more intently and saw Lydia’s Gold Land Cruiser in the driveway. I immediately picked up the phone and called their home. I became numb when the call was answered by Police whom were still there working the Crime Scene. I learned later that Stevie’s suspicion had gotten the best of him and one day after leaving the house for work, Stevie waited a couple of hours, doubled back to the house, and quietly entered their home. Apparently, the music playing on the stereo was so loud that they never heard Stevie enter the house. The Lancaster house had that thick plush carpet that made it difficult to hear approaching sounds. Stevie went up to his bedroom, heard obvious sounds of sexual passion, opened the door slightly, and discovered what he had suspected all along. Lydia lay completely nude across the bed as a man atop of her joined Stevie’s Wife in loud sexual intercourse. My friend must have snapped. Stevie went to an adjoining room retrieved his pistol and unloaded the weapon on Lydia and the other man killing them both. They tell me that Stevie called the Police and confessed to the shooting, and was found there sitting on the steps inside the home when they arrived. I never did understand my friend Lydia’s actions. Nor did I completely understand her brazing disrespect for their home, and for the life of me how she became so comfortable that she never even heard Stevie come back to the house. I won’t get into details about Stevie Lancaster’s Criminal Case disposition to further protect their identity, but it was this case that made me realize and understand that Love is for the faint at heart, the brave soul with gallantry who dare embark upon her, that love in it’s purest form isn’t without consequences for those who adore her, and in the end love sometimes hurts so very deadly. I know a man name Ted Franklin who probably hurt the most. I never did see Big Teddy again, as I was too ashamed to stop by and simply say hello. I blamed myself for the entire ordeal because I had given Big Teddy my word and stamp of approval on Stevie dating and ultimately marrying his daughter. I did run into a relative of the Franklin family years later. It was at that time I was told that Ted Franklin had died just a few years after he lost Lydia. Probably from a broken heart. The relative also told me that ted understood why I stopped coming around and said if anyone ever saw me again, to tell me he don’t blame me for what happen. i wish i could have had the chance to say goodbye to Big Ted. I drove to the Maryland House of corrections in Jessup, MD to visit my friend Stevie Lancaster, but I could never muster the courage to go in and see him. I will never forget the day Stevie met PL and the way they looked the moment they set eyes upon each other. Perhaps that just may have been the worst day of our lives.

His Family Radio draws listeners from around the Globe, they pour Millions of Dollars faithfully into his Broadcast Evangelism, and he is highly touted as a Biblical Scholar. The only problem is that he can’t seem to pinpoint the exact date of Armageddon. As May 21, 2011 came and went the Native Oakland, CA Preacher ‘s prediction of doomsday vanished as quickly as the finances paid to his Radio Ministry. The Elderly Harold Camping had been teaching Listeners that the Rapture as depicted in the Bible would occur, Millions would be killed, and those left upon the Earth would endure turmoil for 5 months until October 21. 2011. Camping claim to have discovered a secret mathematical encryption with in the Bible that reveals the exact day that the World would come to an end. The prediction gained momentum when Time Magazine did a Story, NPR News ran a Clip, and over 2,000 Billboard Ads proclaiming Campings prediction popped up around the Nation. Camping is not new to the Doomsday Stage as he also had a failed prediction in 1994. It’s interesting that Major News outlets would even entertain yet another prediction of the World Ending by Camping, and that he continues to cling to Biblical Elite Status. Many site the Bibles Teachings that no Man would know the Hour of Christ’ Resurrection, not even Christ himself. Yet Camping has been heralded as an Authority on Scripture, boldly predicting Events that the Bible Teaches will occur, and in direct contradiction to what the Word of God has otherwise stated. It seems alarming that Millions of so called God Fearing Christians follow this Man. Campings Radio Family Network is valued at over an estimated $100 Million Dollars and seems to depict very clearly the direction of his Spiritual guidance. Why are the masses listening to what Camping has to say? Why are they willing to shell out Millions to support his Teachings? Why does he seem so eager to prepare the World for final destruction? We can ask similar questions regarding the Followers of Jim Jone, David Koresh, Billy Graham, Eddie Long, John Africa, and the list runs on of Religous Bible Toters whom are willing to support Preachers even unto the death. Christians in particular have been long criticized for their seemingly Zombie like allegiance to Churches with sweltering financial resources, their know it all persona or pathetic addiction to the King James Version of the Bible, and their animated display of joy during Church Services that many say mimics feel good side show antics. However, my depiction of some  Christians should not be generalized as an overall perspective of genuine God Fearing People, but Preachers the likes of Camping and his followers certainly adds credence to some areas that distractors have been most critical of the Faith. We must agree that one’s Religion and their monetary contribution to support a Theological Belief is between an individual and their professed Creator. Those of us who Fear God and Believe and Trust in his Word are resolved to dismiss Preacher Camping, it’s just that his predicting a return of Christ on a whim, diminishes the World’s outlook on Christians who say that they truly believe, and cast doubt on the credibility of Preachers who work diligently to honestly Teach the Bible. Whether the Believers who follow Camping condoned his foolishness or not, they are associated with Christian Ideals and they must all share the embarrassment and wear the same Black eye!

The History

Former Philadelphia Police Chief and Mayor Frank Rizzo ordered City Police to storm the Move Compound in 1978, and Police stomped and kicked  Pregnant Female Move Members, causing them to lose their Babies.

To obtain a complete and thorough understanding of the May 13, 1985 Move Bombing in West Philadelphia, we must take a look at the History that the John Africa Idealist Group known as M.O.V.E has had with Philadelphia City Officials dating back to 1978. Move has been well known for it’s Revolutionary Extremism, calling for a society without Government or Police. The Group adopted a Back to Nature lifestyle which mirrors Rahstafarianism, with their signature dreadlocks and wayward physical attire. Citizens living in the Palerton Village section of the City saw Move Members as odd or eccentric, but barring their unorthodox culture, many say that Move posed no significant threat to the Community. Perhaps the Anti-Government  and disdain for City Officials that Move overtly projected through their literature was the foundation that sparked a long standing conflict with the City of Philadelphia during the Post Civil rights Era.  The Palerton Community was no stranger to Police Brutality under a Mobbed Up Frank Rizzo Police Department. History reveals a well known fact that Italian and African American Communities have never been exactly cordial in Philly for decades. Rizzo likened  Move to Radical 60’s Groups like the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam. Under Rizzo, the Police standard operation procedure can only be depicted by an infamous Rizzo quote, “Get there Black asses”.  The African American Community in Philly became increasingly weary of unprovoked acts of excessive force in Rizzotown. The culminating incident occurred when a Move Member was beaten nearly lifeless by City Police. The Police sought to eradicate the Move Headquarters and used City Health Inspectors to obtain a Court Order condemning the Move Building and calling it inhabitable. Move fought back by refusing to grant further inspections of the dwelling by City Health Officials igniting a 15 month standoff with now former Police Chief, and newly elected Mayor at the time, Frank Rizzo. During the standoff which sparked mass local Media attention, it should be pointed out that local Journalist were granted access to the Move Compound. Those who conducted Interviews inside reported observing a well kept interior of the Building, described Move Members as fitness fanatics, witness female members training via boxing, and said their diet was of a Vegan nature. None of this would stop Move’s greatest adversary (Rizzo) though. The Mayor went on an all out Public Assault on Move, holding Press Conferences vowing to raid the Move Compound and enforce  the Court Order. Mean while City Police issued Arrest Warrants for the 20 adult Move Members living in the house, citing their failure to comply with Health Codes, and a Court Order. Move cited the numerous well documented cases of Police Brutality that Move Members as well as other Citizens in the Palerton Community had endured over the years, and took up arms, vowing to fight any attempt to siege the Building until the death. Rizzo made it clear that Police would not relent and said, “We’re going to crack their Black necks”. Rizzo’s patience wore thin on the posturing by both sides, and gave the police Chief the Order to remove the Move Members from the Building. At 3:00 a.m. Police moved in barricading streets for several Blocks. At Sunrise, City police gave their last command ordering the Move Members out of the House, and when Move refused, a Bull Dozer began to tear down the fence that fortified the Building’s Grounds. A shot suddenly rang out, City Police opened fire on the Move Building. There are conflicting accounts about who allegedly fired the first shot, but most witnesses say the shot came in a direction opposite of the Move Building, and away from Police. Officials never determined where, or who fired a weapon causing Police to retaliate with deadly force. When the dust was all settled, a City Policeman lie dead on the ground, Police entered the Move Compound and dragged the Members out of the house, some completely nude ( an act some say meant to humiliate them), Female Move Members were kicked and stomped causing them to have miscarriages. Perhaps the most chilling and disturbing act by Police was the death of a 15 month old child who was trampled to death when Police began to enter the Building. Also, News Media broadcast Video Footage of three Philly Cops repeatedly beating and stomping a Move Member like a rag doll. The Cops were later identified, brought to trial for  Assault, but the presiding Judge dismissed the Jury in the Case and made his own ruling acquitting them. In contrast, 9 of the Move Members were tried and convicted of 3rd Degree Murder. To add insult to injury, City Police under Direct orders from Mayor Rizzo, arrived with Bulldozers and other Heavy Demolition Equipment, and leveled the Move Compound just a few hours after they had dragged Move out of the Building.  Though countless inquiries by Watchdog Advocacy Groups, Court Appeals, and constant Protest by Move, and Move Supporters kept pressure on Officials requesting that the case be reopened, the Move 9 remain in Prison 31 years later. No Police Officer has ever been tried for the 15 month old baby killed during the assault on the Move Compound, nor for the stillborn fetus killed after Police kicked their pregnant Mothers in the stomach in retaliation for the death of their fellow Police Officer.

The 1985 Conflict

Former Philadelphia Mayor, and first Black Elected to Philly’s top Seat, Dr. Wilson Goode Sr. ordered City Police to drop a Bomb on a Black Neighborhood killing 11 people (including 5 children), and allowed the Fire to burn until it was too late. The Fire destroyed 61 Homes on Osage Avenue in West Philadelphia.

Less than a decade later the bad blood between City Officials and Move, who was only 7 years removed from the Palerton Incident, gained momentum again on the heals of Citizen Complaints, alleging poor sanitation, foul odors coming from Move’s new home on Osage Avenue, and obscene broadcast coming from speakers mounted on the roof top of the Building at all hours of the night. Move had exhausted their campaign to have the Palerton Conflict brought back into Mainstream Media, at a time when no one was listening. Media circuits had gone numb on the story and considered it a close matter. move attempted to usher the Media back into the mix with the loud broadcast, which was almost certain to incite the interest of City Police, who by many assertion, were waiting for another opportunity to avenge the death of  one of their own. Like the 78 Conflict, City Officials cited the Move dwelling for what they called Health Code Violations, attempted to serve arrest warrants for some of the Move  Members, and again Move resisted. this sparked yet another face to face standoff with Move and City Police. As the long standoff ensued, Move Members bunkered down inside the house exchanged gunfire with police outside. At 5:30 that evening, a Philadelphia Police Helicopter dropped a bomb onto the roof of the house in an effort to drive Move members out. Accounts differ on why the fire wasn’t snuffed out, despite the dozen fire trucks surrounding the block. Ramona Africa, the sole surviving adult in the house, says Police fired on Move Members as they tried to escape the burning house. Police say the Move Members ran in and out of the house firing at them. Police ordered their officers and fire fighters to stay back. What is clear is that four hours later, 61 houses on the block were gone, and everyone inside the Move house, except for Ramona Africa and a 13-year-old boy, was dead.

The Aftermath

The city’s first Black Mayor had dropped a bomb on a Black Neighborhood.  In many ways, for African-Americans, it’s painful to remember. A commission that investigated, found that Goode and two other Officials, Police Commissioner Gregore Sambor, and Fire Commissioner William Richmond, had been “grossly negligent.” The deaths of the Move Children “appeared to be unjustified homicide,” it said. Police had not taken them out of the house when they had the chance. They had used excessive force in firing 10,000 rounds of ammunition into the house. The plan to drop explosives was “reckless” and “unconscionable.” And they let the fire burn until it was too late to control. Sambor resigned six months later. Richmond retired in 1988. Goode apologized tearfully on TV and was re-elected in 1988. Everybody was shouting at the television set, ‘Put out the fire!’ The fact that five children died, huddled in the basement of the Move House, brings tears to the eyes of many. I can’t help but imagine those last hours for these innocent and defenseless kids down in the basement. In Waco, Texas (Branch Davidian), Ruby Ridge, and now Move, the children were not spared, and not one single person has ever been brought to Justice. Bastards!

Ever since that Tragic Day on September 11, when Americans learned that Commercial Aircraft were being deliberately crashed into Landmarks on U.S. Soil, there has been an ever growing compilation of Accounts, from Citizens who were actually there, T.V. Viewers, and Conspiracy Theorist whom all have chimed in on what they believe or  claim to know about the Events of that day, that cost the lives of countless Innocent American Citizens. The American People were told that Terrorist had successfully hijacked 5 Commercial Aircraft and began using the Planes as weapons against the United States of America. In the aftermath of this Tragedy, it was determined that Osama Bin Ladin’s Taliban Organization were responsible for the 9/11 Attacks. President George W. Bush made a case for War on Terrorism, Vowing to bring those responsible for the 9/11 attacks to Justice. The U.S. flexed her Military Might unto the Countries  of Iraq, Afghanistan, and now in Libya. Thousands of Young U.S. Service Men & Women would lose their lives abroad in an effort to dismantle what they were told was a proported Battle against a vicious Terrorist Regime. When the Dust settled we realized that the 9/11 Attacks on America were being classified as the most significant act of war on our Country ever. Then slowly, piece by piece, and to the dismay of some of America’s most Loyal Citizens, the evidence and Official response from those in our Government charged with sorting it all out, just didn’t add up. From the unusual manner in which the World Trade Center Towers came down to the Crime Scene in the Field in Pennsylvania, where one of the Aircraft mysteriously crashed, to the suspicious hole in the wall at the Pentagon that Authorities told the American Public, that one of the Hijacked Airplanes had crashed there,  and the evidence didn’t make sense, but the American People rallied behind our Government, and braced for War against those bastards that had killed Americans without cause.  Now a little over a decade later, many of us here in the U.S. and abroad know that what we were told, was nothing more then complete fabrication. Yes, a Big Fat Lie!  I can’t tell you where to begin to initiate an unraveling of the lies that Americans have been told about the events of 9/11. This will be debated for many years to come. However, If you are really interested in hearing some cold hard facts about this Tragic Day, then your in the right place.

The Smoking Gun

Forget about everything you remember about 9/11 for a moment. Forget about the Twin towers, and forget about the Plane that crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania.  I want you to focus on the alleged attack on the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The National Transportation Safety Bureau’s Official Report outlining what occurred when the Airplane crashed into the Pentagon, has described the Airplane as having approached the Pentagon from a path deriving from the South. The report highlights an eyewitness account by the man depicted in the image above, Lloyd England, a D.C. Cab Driver, and who just happened to be on a bridge on 9/11 when the Airplane flew overhead stirring toward the Pentagon. England claims the Plane was at such a low altitude that it struck several light poles, causing one of them to fall crashing into the windshield of his Taxi Cab. England goes on to say in the report that a stranger assisted him in removing the rather large and heavy pole from on top of the vehicle. Images of the Crime Scene on the bridge indicate there were no scratches on the hood of the Cab. Also, the Glass and debris scattered about on the ground in front of the Cab appears odd considering the basic law of Physics. The NTSB Report claims the Plane was traveling at about 400-500 knots. Based on Physics, any object struck in the path of a speedy Aircraft of this magnitude would tend to also travel in the same direction. Most of the glass and debris should have landed in side of the Cab or toward the rear, when you investigate England’s account (said the light pole landed in the Cab’s back seat).

Notice the Glass and Debris scattered about in the opposite direction of the path in which the pole should have been traveling.

This is England’s Cab a day after 9/11. A light pole fell ontop of  the Cab, yet there isn’t a single scratch on the hood! What does any of this have to do with the 9/11 attacks? Trust me when I tell you that though these minor points appear trivial, they will ultimately prove that England’s Cab, the Light Pole, and other debris were staged by the 9/11 Conspirators. The fact that England attempted to change his account when pressed by independent investigators, his inconsistency in who helped him remove the pole from ontop of his cab (first it was a stranger; he later changed to his neighbor), and the fact that his Wife  is Employed by the Federal Bureau of Investigations are nothing in comparison to the Video Recording showing England admitting his involvement in the 9/11 Attack, that at least the Pentagon Attack was planned, and falling just short of outright confessing.  I should note that Lloyd England came to fame after Investigators made a Freedom of Information Act Request of the Eyewitness Accounts of the Plane crashing into the Pentagon. The single most important argument has been the actual Flight Path of the Plane that crashed into the Pentagon. Every single witness described seeing the Plane approaching from the North, a few saw it ascending (going up), and one witness reported seeing a low flying Plane when he ran outside of the Pentagon after hearing an explosion. After the explosion? Yes after the Plane allegedly crashed into the Pentagon an eyewitness saw a low flying aircraft. During the Recorded Interview of this witness, he is observed saying “a second plane”. A second Plane? There can only be one explanation for this. The low flying Plane that everyone saw, never crashed into the Pentagon at all. Something else must have hit the Pentagon, and the Crime Scene Images supports this argument, as the hole in the side of the Pentagon could barely fit just the Tail portion of the huge Boeing 757 that Authorities claim struck the building, until 30 minutes later when a portion of the wall collapsed. Not just that but Authorities want Americans to believe that a Boeing 757 made of lightweight aluminum, penetrate over 9 ft. of steel reinforced concrete with piercing clean round holes, and leave no evidence of itself. The only accounts that say the Plane approached from the south are from the Federally controlled NTSB and Mr. Lloyd England. Given the weird nature of the evidence that the Government has offered, it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Cab & light Pole portion of the NTSB Report was made up. hell he even admits that it was all planned.

The Hard Facts

Where are the bodies? Supposedly 100 Tons of steel and titanium alloy completely disintegrated, yet, government forensics teams claim to have identified 180+ bodies. This is just on ‘paper’. No witnesses saw any bodies, no witnesses saw damage consistent with a 757 slamming onto the lawn and Pentagon. Furthermore, can physics explain why there is no damage to the Pentagon’s upper floors where the tail section would have hit? Given that the outer wall of the Pentagon had not yet collapsed and the only hole is approximately 16 ft. in diameter, how does a plane over 44 feet tall and 125 ft. wide fit into that hole as shown in the photographic evidence from the Pentagon?

Close-ups of this section are extremely revealing. Why were America and the world never shown the video and photographs of the Pentagon, BEFORE the outer wall had collapsed showing only one 16 ft. hole. Many people do not realize that the outer wall did not collapse until almost 30 minutes after the initial impact. Why doesn’t the Pentagon structure show any significant damage outside of the 16 ft Hole? The wing span of the 757 is approximately 125 ft.

Notice the structural damage only appears vertical. The wall collapsed 30 minutes after impact covering the 16 ft hole. There is no structural damage where the 757’s 125 ft horizontal wing span should have caused significant damge. How does this lightweight Plane pierce the Pentagon’s fortified structure and make only a spiraling circular hole through 3 layers of the building?

Not to mention, the 757 supposedly disintegrated, yet, you can see un-burnt desks, and un-melted computer screens immediately next to the impact sections. Also, remember Lloyd England’s eyewitness account of the Plane’s flight Path deriving from the South? the below images shows how absurd that actually is.

Now take a look of the Closeup of the Pentagon. Notice the roof top damage path as it appears to head toward the right side of the building. It’s about a 45 degree angle rightward from the point of impact.

What ever hit the Pentagon did so at a rightward 45 degree angle. which would support every eyewitness account (other than England’s and the NTSB Official Report) that the Plane approached the Pentagon from the North.

More evidence of the rightward 45 degree angle supporting a Northern originated flight Path. To make my point crystal clear here, Lloyd England’s Account of a Plane traveling from a southern approach is complete bullshit and he is a liar. Moreover, Officials claim the jet disintegrated due to the heat. 12-ton titanium alloy engines, wings, fuselage, all gone. In the aftermath, it was reported by media sources that, A giant 100 ft. crater was plowed into the front lawn of the Pentagon as the result of a powerful airliner crash? Why does photographic evidence overwhelmingly show that this was absolutely not the case? Why no crater? Why no skid marks? Why no burn marks? Why was the entire world deliberately mislead? Pentagon Crash has NO EVIDENCE of a jet-liner. These 3 pictures are the only evidence whatsoever that an airliner crashed at the Pentagon.

There seems to be a few ‘clean & placed’ pieces of plane, small enough to carry off, the lawn, which was undisturbed. Not one seat cushion. No engines. No Vertical Stabilizer. No wing sections. Nothing…. Nothing but pictures. And of course, these ‘pieces’ have since, conveniently disappeared and cannot be analyzed. 

They say everything simply   disintegrated despite these extremely pertinent facts.

– Pratt & Whitney / Roll Royce engines

– 12′ x 9′ Diameter Titanium steel alloy

– 6 tons each

– Melting point of titanium: 1,688°

– Max burning Temp of Jet-Fuel: 1,120°

One of 2 6 ton Boeing 757 Engines the Government wants you to believe   disintegrated in the Attack on the Pentgon on 9/11.

Unfortunately there are people in our society who love to hate, and no matter what clear, cut, and dry evidence you present to them, there will always be skeptics who want, love to, and can’t resist displaying hatred for other Cultures simply because the United States Government said they are bad people, and are responsible for this heinous act. This Documentary (The 9/11 Pentagon Attack) in which Lloyd England admits his involvement, states that the attack on the Pentagon was planned, that he and one of the Conspirators came over the bridge together that day, and his sudden attempt to change his story still isn’t enough for some to believe that our Government did the unthinkable. No way a Boeing AA 757 crashed into the Pentagon as Government Officials say it did.

A three year independent investigation into the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon has yielded new eyewitness evidence which, according to the Southern California-based researchers who conducted the investigation, “conclusively (and unfortunately) establishes as a historical fact that the violence which took place in Arlington that day was not the result of a surprise attack by suicide hijackers, but rather a military black operation involving a carefully planned and skillfully executed deception.” They have compiled the most pertinent testimony into an 81 minute video presentation entitled National Security Alert, which has earned the respect and praise of a growing number of distinguished academics, journalists, writers, entertainers, pilots, and military personnel alike.

No way this is an AA 757

The Peoples Champion

I’m David Adams

As a Human Interest Writer and Trained Journalist, I very rarely if ever respond publicly to criticism of my literary work. My intent has always been to offer a perspective regarding News Worthy Stories that appeal to the masses, and also for the purpose of stimulating dialogue, consciousness, and critical thinking where by society at large may arrive at an individual resolve. Though much of my work derives from a subjective posture, I seek to generate responses from a diverse audience, and I anticipate unfavorable feedback from this vast readership.  That being said, I am extremely compelled to address comments recently posted on Twitter, Facebook, and other Social Medium about my Blog Post(s) related to the Phylicia Barnes Case. Readers have purused The Peoples Champion Blog and made diligent efforts to either down play key “facts” (based on an analyzation of the Barnes Siblings account in their own words) that I have pointed out in my own Investigation of the case, or have sought to discourage other Readers from entertaining my Perspective by posting comments such as, “That Blog isn’t real”. First in foremost, my Blog is very real, developed by me, and the Barnes Case hits very close to home as I am a concerned Citizen and Native Baltimorean with a Teen Daughter currently living in the City. Secondly, I don’t recall ever stating in any of my Blog Post that I was an actual Investigator assigned to the Phylicia Barnes Case. If that were the true, any public dissemination of evidence surrounding the investigation would not be prudent nor ethical on my part in that regard. Moreover, I find it interesting as well as insightful that individuals seek to cause distraction at the mere implication of the Barnes Siblings as possible suspects in Phylicia’s mysterious and tragic ending. My perspective isn’t a premise originating from Media Reports on the case, but rather a personal suspicion and conclusion after hearing what the elder Barnes female children had to say about their Baby Sisters disappearance. The seemingly lack of grief, inconsistency in their accounts, laughter, whispering, and other unusual behavior under questioning during the Blogtalk Radio Broadcast should narrow the field of possible suspects responsible for this child’s death. Consequently, in my mind I feel the Barnes Sisters should not only be included in he list of possible suspects, but rather their involvement is more than likely at the very apex. Excluding my opinion, a reasonable, rational thinking person, and using a common sense approach should have some serious revelations about these Women’s account on the day Phylicia went missing. As I have stated previously, the public is unaware of what they have already stated to Authorities on record, the Blogtalk Interview speaks for it’s self, and either these two women are the the most pathetically ignorant females in all of Baltimore or something is drastically afoul. I would personally gravitate to the later. I will not revisit previous Blog Post with redundant particulars that I have already pointed out. However, it should be noted here that I stand firmly behind my perspective on this case uti lizing the Blogtalk Broadcast as my primary argument. Also, the individuals responsible for taking this child’s life will have an extremely limit period in the cloak, because as of this past Wednesday Police Authorities got the biggest break to date, as the Maryland Chief Medical Examiner ruled Phylicia’s death a homicide. I should also say that I hope I am wrong about any implication of her family. This would be an even bigger tragedy. Sadly though, my instincts tells me that this case is headed toward an even darker desolate path. I pray for speedy justice in this case as well as continued comforting for the Barnes Family. God Speed!
