Rasheem Carter, 25, went missing after warning his mother men were chasing him
Taylorsville, Mississippi police claimed no reason to suspect foul play after he was found decapitated
He disappeared on in October and was found mutilated in a wooded area exactly one month later
WHO IS ATTORNEY BEN CRUMP? Ben Crump is the family's attorney in the ongoing investigation.
Mr. Crump, esq. is a race-baiting ambulance chaser of long standing.
In a press conference on Monday, he took aim at local authorities for not communicating with Carter's family. He said they believe Carter was the victim of a hate crime.
Crump is a specialist in civil rights and catastrophic personal injury cases.
In 2002, he represented the McMeans family after a white state trooper shot Genie McMeans Jr.
He was involved in representing the families of Martin Lee Anderson, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown between 2007 and 2014.
The lawyer has taken on a number of widely reported cases since.
In 2015, he represented the family of Antonio Zambrano-Montes who was killed by three policemen in Washington.
He also represented the family of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old African American woman who was shot by police.
Crump was the attorney who represented the family of George Floyd in May 2020.

More holes than story there, but... could it be? At long last a legitimate case?
The Kook Kluckser cackled, "By Frigg,
I reckon he's got one: a [swig]
Who we actually killed!
Save that acorn to gild!"

Quoting various sources.... ... last seen and captured on a trail camera October 2, 2022 image with a time stamp of 4:32 p.m., in the woods shirtless and carrying what appears to be a large branch on the day he was reported missing. His remains were found about 300 yards away from where he was seen in the deer cam image.
We are told he was found decapitated a month later.
Since the FBI and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, are involved in the "ongoing investigation" it is likely the LOCAL Police are not easily pulling off a cover-up.
Official ME statement. "Based solely upon the condition of the remains, there was no means by which a cause of death could be reasonably determined by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office."
So it begs the question:
So what was the cause of death?
Either way, after 30 days of exposure, to you name it animals, and birds. Plus, given body parts are still missing and maybe dragged away to be eaten,
Could the decapitation be because we have some very effective Buzzards, 200++lbs Hogs/Boars, Coyotes & Gators that love to chew on things down here in our Southern States?

Unless the guy was a really high level player of the game Mousetrap, the authorities need to rule foul play back in. The only white decapitator that I know of was The Kurgan. Short of the presence of a really blaring Queen soundtrack, the decapitation MO is most commonly associated with ISIS. Perhaps the police should investigate.

[Epoch Times] "Coldest winter I've ever spent was a summer in San Francisco"-NOT Mark Twain
"The rule amendments would apply only to new appliances and do not mandate the immediate change out of existing appliances, nor will they apply to appliances used for cooking, such as gas stoves," according to a March 15 press release.
According to new amendments, only "zero NOx" water heaters can be sold or installed in the Bay Area beginning in 2027. Two years later in 2029, only zero NOx furnaces will be allowed to be sold or installed in the region. And in 2031, new commercial water heaters in the Bay Area will have to meet zero NOx standards. Then they can ban gas stoves, if the Feds haven't already done so.
If adopted, the Bay Area’s amendment updates are expected to affect roughly two-thirds of all households in the region estimated to use natural gas appliances. The development could hit such households financially as gas heating tends to be cheaper than alternatives like electricity. Other heating alternatives: Solar, coal, wood, and nuclear.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, average household spending on natural gas heating in the United States for winter 2022—23 was pegged at $931, far cheaper than the average spending on heating via electricity at $1,359. Fortunately, California has plenty of electricity and loads more coming on line in the near future.

The Bay is a penal colony with outrageous rent. They have blocked electrical power generation in the state and continue to push all usage towards electrical for which they don’t have the generation capacity. It is a strategy that will drive the proletariat into urban apartments by cost or by fire. They have wind farms, but more than half of the units by Livermore are perpetually idle due to maintenance costs.

[federalreserve.gov] The Service will Debut with Financial Institutions and the U.S. Treasury on Board
The Federal Reserve announced that the FedNow Service will start operating in July and provided details on preparations for launch.
The first week of April, the Federal Reserve will begin the formal certification of participants for launch of the service. Early adopters will complete a customer testing and certification program, informed by feedback from the FedNow Pilot Program, to prepare for sending live transactions through the system.
Certification encompasses a comprehensive testing curriculum with defined expectations for operational readiness and network experience. In June, the Federal Reserve and certified participants will conduct production validation activities to confirm readiness for the July launch.
"We couldn't be more excited about the forthcoming FedNow launch, which will enable every participating financial institution, the smallest to the largest and from all corners of the country, to offer a modern instant payment solution," said Ken Montgomery, first vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and FedNow program executive. "With the launch drawing near, we urge financial institutions and their industry partners to move full steam ahead with preparations to join the FedNow Service."
Many early adopters have declared their intent to begin using the service in July, including a diverse mix of financial institutions of all sizes, the largest processors, and the U.S. Treasury.
In addition to preparing early adopters for the July launch, the Federal Reserve continues to engage a range of financial institutions and service providers to complete the testing and certification program and implement the service throughout 2023 and beyond. Montgomery noted that availability of the service is just the beginning, and growing the network of participating financial institutions will be key to increasing the availability of instant payments for consumers and businesses across the country.
The FedNow Service will launch with a robust set of core clearing and settlement functionality and value-added features. More features and enhancements will be added in future releases to continue supporting safety, resiliency and innovation in the industry as the FedNow network expands in the coming years.
"With the FedNow Service, the Federal Reserve is creating a leading-edge payments system that is resilient, adaptive, and accessible," said Tom Barkin, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and FedNow Program executive sponsor. "The launch reflects an important milestone in the journey to help financial institutions serve customer needs for instant payments to better support nearly every aspect of our economy."
ABOUT THE FEDNOW SERVICE
The Federal Reserve Banks are developing the FedNow Service to facilitate nationwide reach of instant payment services by financial institutions — regardless of size or geographic location — around the clock, every day of the year. Through financial institutions participating in the FedNow Service, businesses and individuals will be able to send and receive instant payments at any time of day, and recipients will have full access to funds immediately, giving them greater flexibility to manage their money and make time-sensitive payments. Access will be provided through the Federal Reserve's FedLine® network, which serves more than 10,000 financial institutions directly or through their agents.

As well as full cash flow monitoring for the working class that uses the payment system. Not so much for cash transactions like lawn mowing, painting, concrete, et. al. labor services.
[Daily Mail] Misled Congress by claiming a swarm of mysterious objects that buzzed around Navy ships in 2019 were mere drones — not a national security threat
The former head of the government's UFO task force Jay Stratton and his chief scientist Travis Taylor spoke about 2019 UFO sightings at AlienCon
They said their investigation left them fearing Russia or China could have incredible drone technology and that it was a national security threat
When the incident was recounted by their Pentagon bosses to Congress last year, the military chiefs said the mystery was solved and they were mere drones.
Whether or not the objects in the night vision videos were extraordinary, the sight of two former senior officials spilling the secrets on their government investigations at a civilian UFO event certainly was.

[PJMedia] On Wednesday, James O’Keefe, the former founder and CEO of Project Veritas, announced the launch of his new media organization, named O’Keefe Media Group.
In the video, O’Keefe discussed how he had faced defamation, arrests, and raids and was ultimately removed from the organization he’d spent a significant amount of time building credibility for. Last month, O’Keefe was kicked out of Project Veritas a couple of weeks after the board suspended him.
But, as expected, O’Keefe is bouncing back and seems determined to go bigger and better in service of his original mission.
"The irony of the ACORN story is that it took a 25-year-old with a hidden camera a few days to do what billion-dollar networks and journalists could not do in a decade," O’Keefe says in a video announcing his new business venture. "I spent 14 years creating the most effective nonprofit newsroom this country has ever seen, and in paving the way to establish citizen journalism, I have been defamed, arrested, raided, and ultimately removed from the organization I spent so much time developing credibility of."
"I always knew they would try to ruin the reputations of those who expose them," he continues, "the pharma giants, the three-letter government agencies, and those who I thought I could trust. But in response, we are going to build an army of Sherlocks and exposers. They have awakened [a] sleeping giant."
"I’m back," declares O’Keefe, who revealed that a small, tight-knit group of "the most elite journalists in the world" remain by his side.
"Exposing corruption requires standing up to power because power hates sunlight. We are sunlight."
O’Keefe’s new venture is called the O’Keefe Media Group, which he insists "will never be shut down." Not only does O’Keefe own it, but anyone can pledge their support to sponsor his army of journalists by becoming a founding member.

I am sure that what remains of Project Veritas will try to break something soon in response. My expectation is that they will begin to operate for the left. It will be called Project Veritas but it will act like Fusion GPS.

[AlAhram] La Belle France’s government on Thursday invoked a special constitutional power to enact a contentious pension bill without a vote in parliament, in a risky move by President Emmanuel Macron.
The decision was made just a few minutes before the vote was scheduled because the government had no guarantee that the bill would command a majority at the National Assembly, La Belle France’s lower house of parliament.
The bill will raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, and is the flagship legislation of Macron's second term. The unpopular plan has prompted major strikes and protests across the country since January.
The move is expected to trigger a quick no-confidence motion in Macron's government.
La Belle France’s showdown over a bill raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 heads toward a climax Thursday, either via a parliamentary vote or through a special presidential move to force it through the legislature.
The Senate adopted the bill Thursday morning in a 193-114 vote, a tally that was largely expected since the conservative majority of the upper house of parliament favors a higher retirement age. The bill now moves to the lower house, the National Assembly, where its fate is uncertain.
President Emmanuel Macron had an early morning meeting with some leaders of his centrist alliance to discuss the complex political situation in the National Assembly. He is expected to meet them again at noon.
Macron’s alliance lost its parliamentary majority last year, forcing the government to count on conservative politicians to pass the bill. Leftists and far-right politicians are strongly opposed and conservatives are divided, making the outcome unpredictable.
The French leader wants to raise the retirement age so workers put more money into the system, which the government says is on course to run a deficit. If he can’t get a majority vote in parliament, he has the constitutional authority to impose unpopular legislation unilaterally.
Macron has promoted the pension changes as central to his vision for making the French economy more competitive. Union leaders remained defiant before the vote in the National Assembly and called on politicians to vote against the reform plan that is "unjust and brutal."
They denounced the government’s legal shortcuts to move the bill forward as a dangerous "denial of democracy."
"The elected representatives of the people must respect the will of the people and therefore vote against" the bill, Philippe Martinez, the secretary-general of the CGT union, told news hounds outside the parliament.
Nearly 500,000 people protested against the bill around the country Wednesday. Students planned to march to seat of the National Assembly on Thursday as garbage workers kept up a strike that has caused trash to pile up around the French capital.
Macron "wishes" to have a vote proceed at the National Assembly, his office said following a Wednesday night strategy session with Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and ministers in charge of the bill.
Labor minister Olivier Dussopt, speaking after the Senate’s vote, acknowledged the government still has no guarantee that the text a reconciliation committee approved Wednesday will command a majority at the lower house.
"We are determined to build that majority," he said. "That’s our work, our commitment in the coming hours."
Approval in the National Assembly would give the plan more legitimacy, but rather than face the risk of rejection, Macron could instead at the last minute invoke his authority to force the bill through parliament without a vote.
Economic challenges have prompted widespread unrest across Western Europe. In Britannia on Wednesday, teachers, junior doctors and public transport staff were striking for higher wages to match rising prices.
And Spain’s leftist government joined with labor unions to announce a "historic" deal to save its pension system by raising social security costs for higher wage earners.

As I remember, he was re-elected by constituents that did not want pension reform.

I thought the legislature had to pass legislation in order to call it legislation?? Sounds more like Rule By Law than Rule Of Law.

Meanwhile back in the USSA: from here forward there will be no consequences for banking fraud, poor decision-making, fiduciary recklessness, self-dealing, or any of the other risks attendant to the handling of other people’s money. Bailing out the Silicon Valley Bank and Barney Frank’s deluxe Signature Bank means that the government will now have to bail out every bank every time something goes wrong.

Note there was no real "vote" on this in the USSA.
[American Greatness] The FBI agent squirmed on the hot seat.
Confronted with messages the Justice Department attempted to conceal, Nicole Miller, one of the lead FBI investigators assigned to the Proud Boys case, was on the verge of admitting that the FBI monitored privileged communications between one defendant and his attorney in 2021.
Skipping down a bit:
Oh, and the 338 items of destroyed evidence? Prosecutors insisted, without providing a scintilla of proof, that message referred to the routine "disposal" of evidence in a 20-year old case that had been closed. Always indignant, the Justice Department condemned the "potential for confusion and unfair prejudice here is obvious, given the inflammatory use defense counsel have already made of the ’destroy evidence’ remark."
But the government’s explanation as to why FBI agents were spying on email correspondence between a defendant and his attorney then apparently sharing that intelligence with prosecutors handling the case should alarm all Americans.

The LSD's/RINO's Deep State Politicians, FBI Leadership and the covert FBI/_ _ _ team members should be exposed, indicted, and brought to a publically televised OJ style trial on a list of felonies.
But being DC SWAMP and WH coup related, we all know what will likely happen.
At best, a few mid-level minions will be selected to fall on the sword, and they and/or families will be well taken care.
Either with $$$$, positions, or Epstein style solutions.

^#7. Maybe that's why McCarthy is going to release the video to everyone.
I was disappointed, but not surprised that Carlson only used about 15 minutes of the video.
I stopped watching him when I realized he's nothing more than a sensationalist dilettante who just flits from one "shocking" story to another for the ratings value.
He's moved on from that shocking J6 video to whatever strikes his fancy this week.
Screw him.

Really Olde Tyme — followers of John the Baptist, to whom those Christians are a heretical offshoot of the old ways.
[Shafaq News] Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani joined the festivities of the Sabaean Mandaeans' celebration of the Creation Day on Thursday.
The event was attended by the leader of the Sabaean Mandaean community in Iraq and the world, Rishma Sattar Jabbar Halou, Mandaean politician Osama al-Badri, and a slew of community leaders and members.
During the celebration, al-Sudani conveyed his congratulations and well wishes to all Iraqi Mandaeans as he toured the baptismal ground on the Tigris River, where religious ceremonies were held.
He also met with several Mandaean families participating in the event, expressed his support for their community, and listened to their demands.
The Prime Minister reiterated his commitment to the well-being of all Iraqi communities, including the Mandaeans, and pledged to address their needs and support their presence in the country's diverse and thriving society.
In a statement released by his media office, al-Sudani laid emphasis on his government's determination to foster diversity, which he considers a source of strength and prosperity for Iraq.
The Sabaean Mandaeans are a small religious minority in Iraq, with a population estimated at less than 10,000. They follow a unique form of monotheism that traces its roots to ancient Mesopotamia and the teachings of John the Baptist. Despite facing persecution and discrimination in the past, the Mandaeans have maintained their distinct culture and traditions, and their community is recognized as one of Iraq's official religious minorities.
