| Judicial Witches and Bitches - 2012-02-07 08:12:00 |
| [Note: Slightly-belated Thanks toJanine Mendes-Franco, forselecting another Jenius posttoGlobal Voices Online, and toMichael Castro, of the insightfulPoder 5blog,for praising My blog.I so wish to meet both of them soon and give them many thanks in person.] The Chief Justice of Our Supreme Court is under investigation. Let's ignore the fact that he, Judge Federico Hernández, ordered a Special Independent Prosecutor investigation into Supreme Court fund usage by that body's judges. Let's ignore the fact that 6 associate judges--erstwhile targets of the SIP investigation--broke with established Court procedures and undermined the Constitutionby abrogating the Chief Justice's order and substituting their own bogus addled monkey-puppet """investigation""". Let's ignore the fact that the 6 associate judges were appointed by The Larva, that in fact, two of them were added to the Supreme Court just to tilt the political balance of the judicial branch in favor of the statehood gang. Let's ignore those facts and focus on the charges leveled against the Chief Justice, as leveled by a security officer/sheriff in the court system, a mongoloid weasel called Alejandro Oyola. And then, let's STOP ignoring facts and face them squarely as to what they mean. Charge: That Hernández used public funds to pay for his Ruby Anniversary celebration at a San Juan hotel...in 2006. FACT: Hernández quickly presented bank statements, canceled checks and credit card statements that prove he and his wife paid for EVERY expense related to that celebration. FACT: The Courts Administration Office investigation into the matter showed NO public funds were used for that celebration. FACT: An independent investigation by local ragEl Nuevo Díaalso showed NO public funds were used. FACT: The hotel's own records confirm that EVERY payment made to it were processed from private accounts in the names of Hernández and his wife. Charge: That Hernández hired Oyola to provide security services for Hernández's son during off-duty hours...in 2008. FACT: There is NO regulation or law against this practice. NONE. FACT: That is Oyola's JOB: to provide security to and for the Supreme Court justices, even outside of normal working hours. FACT: Oyola could have declined to undertake this duty or have it assigned to some other security officer. He CHOSE to accept it. Charge: That Hernández paid Oyola for this security service with a personal check. FACT: This is PERFECTLY legal. In fact, it PROVES that Hernández was OPENLY acknowledging that the off-duty security detail was a PRIVATE matter, not a public one. And that he used his OWN funds to avoid ANY perception of illegal or illicit use of public funds. Charge: Oyola claims that a computer at the Courts Administration Press office was used to view pornography. FACT: This is hearsay, unprovable as presented and has NOTHING--NOTHING--to do with Hernández. Here's the fact: Hernández is the victim of a political witch hunt. Serving on the Supreme Court since 1985, these bogus shit-for-brains charges are from 2006 and 2008; "flimsy" would be a 1,000% upgrade. The statehood party found a skanky mongoloid weasel to bitch and spread lies in order to continue undermining the judicial branch and complete the GasoDildo-level raping of all of Our government's sub-sets. What a crock of shit. WhichEXACTLYdefines the current (non)administration's mindset, value and total output. The Jenius Has Spoken.   |
| The Thieves Want No Supervision - 2012-02-02 08:12:00 |
| I am disgusted by and with My Island. The word "rap" applies to what's happening. Theso-called Office of Governmental Ethics wants to rape Usabout the following ethical procedures: 1)They want to eliminate he filing of financial statements by public officers and employees of the executive branch, andas amended.Who does this include? From page 3 of the first linked document:the governor, cabinet members, mayors, agency directors, presidents of public corporations, OR ANYONE ELSE AS SUGGESTED BY AN AGENCY DIRECTOR. They even want to repeal electronic filing of financial statements, so it'snotthat they're concerned about trees. Interpretation: The thieves don't want a paper or electronic trail of their looting. Period.  2)They want to eliminate the limitations regarding contractor dealings with public officialsin terms ofactivities that breach current ethical standards, andits amendments. They even want toeliminate checking with the Ethics Office for procedural clarifications. Interpretation: The thieves want bribery and corruption to become the default standard for granting contracts. 3)They want to eliminate getting dispensations to hire former """public servants""", and toeliminate the prohibition of using political party emblems in government activities. Interpretation: The thieves want to keep the ol' gang together wherever they go and your voting booth will be painted blue and white while covered in statehood insignias. 4)They want to eliminate the restrictions on appointing, promoting or hiring relatives to government positions. Interpretation: Like incest, nepotism is kept in the family...of thieves. 5)They want to eliminate the authority to impose fines for ethical violations. For that matter,theyjustwanttoeliminatetheEthics Officealtogether. Interpretation: The thieves are raping Us. Again. Let Me state this clearly: We either wipe out these vermin with votes, or We use bullets. Or...We let these thieves take whatever isn't nailed down, including Our dignity. The Jenius Has Spoken.   |
| (Non)Government Becomes Civil War - 2012-02-01 08:12:00 |
| Election Night 2008 was the rockets' red glare moment, the first opening salvos of what is now, without question, Our (non)government becoming a civil war. From 2004 to 2008, with The Jellyfish sliming the helm, the battle was between the executive branch, """led""" by the pro-commonwealth party (Long may it waffle!) and the legislative branch, led by the pro-statehood party (Long may it grovel!) If there was a civil war, it was in the pro-statehood party, divided between Pedro Stupid Rosselló, the 8-year corruption engine, and Luis "The Larva" Fortuño, former "super-secretary" in the Stupid Rosselló cabinet. The old vermin stood mainly with Stupid, while the new weasels backed The Larva. Basically leading each side of the internal civil war was Tomás "Mad Dog" Rivera for the Stupid sycophants and Jenniffer "Gluttonny" González for the Larva lovers. Move forward to 2008, where The Larva becomes (non)governor, Mad Dog becomes the president of the (lowest)senate and Gluttonny becomes the president of the (out)house of representatives. With most city halls belonging to their own party, thus negating any serious opposition,the internal strife of the pro-statehood party irresponsibly becomes the true political and governmental battleground. Time and again, We saw the signs, from Election Night's open defiance of The Larva to the back-room machinations that ensured Mad Dog and Gluttonny could make the defiance stick. Mad Dog always opposed The Larva, openly threatening and delaying cabinet nominations. Gluttonny, an erstwhile Larva supporter, has her eye on the governor's mansion and played cutesy with The Larva, trying to play both ends against the middle when she could. Each side dug in and looked for ways to outmaneuver or outgun the other; the rules--Our Constitutional laws--thus became obstacles in the fight to gain a political advantage. The checks and balances between the executive and legislative branches were attacked and then skewed, for the ultimate goal was not government of the people, by the people and for the people; no, the game was now "Who swings the biggest dick here?" And yes, I'm including Gluttonny in the mix. Then in 2011, The Larva expands the Puerto Rico Supreme Court from 7 to 9 members, packing it with pro-statehood supporters masquerading as judges. Proof?In a surprise action, andfully along party lines,the Supreme Court has changed its rules and regulations to avoid a special independent prosecutor looking into its finances. Said SIP was appointed by the Chief Justice himself, a man named by then-governor Rafael "Supinated Commonwealth" Hernández, i.e., a pro-commonwealth appointee from 1985. The 6 pro-statehood judges took action without the Chief Justice being present (he is off-Island at this time) and basically re-wrote their Constitutional definition. In essence, the Supreme Court has now said "We pro-statehooders are a law unto ourselves"... just like they have in the other two branches. What was the SIP supposed to investigate? The potential misuse of public funds by the Supreme Court. Yes, money...again. An aside: when the watchmen and guardians are the thieves, who takes them on? People, let Me make this clear: what the Supreme Court has done is basically acoup d'etat, an open overthrowing of the established structure of government. Period. These 6 associate judges have taken their defined mission and function, shredded it and replaced it with their own version of "how things should be done." They did so without consulting non-party sources and violating any system of checks and balances inherent in Our once-constitutional form of government. The reason seems obvious: the SIP was going to tear some of these justices a new hole. Guaranteed.Since the funds come from a collaboration between the executive and legislative branches--already mired in civil war--the judicial branch saw no other option but to try to bury the evidence and extend the front to protect entrenched positions. The level of corruption has co-opted those whose job it is to ultimately ensure said corruption is quashed. The executive branch oversteps its financial and economic limits, including the use of clearly-labeled "extra-constitutional" machinations, to thrust Us into debt so deep Greece will be laughing at Our stupidity before 2016. The legislative branch oversteps its legal and ethical limits to preserve the power of its members and extend said power to areas not under its constitutional prerogatives, undermining the executive branch and citizenry. Now the judicial branch is placing itselfabove the very laws it swears to preserve, defend and uphold, extending party politics as a legal fiction for further undermining of Our government. The statehood party's civil war became the statehood party government's civil war, with the inherent plunder and pillaging that war often begets. Every branch is now part of that battlefield. Every branch of Our government.OURgovernment. And if it takes a civil war to wrench control of it back where it belongs...then so be it. The Jenius Has Spoken.   |
