      I haven't heard about this at all. >.> For some reason I slightly doubt it's going to get much national attention.

      The thing is that the "good ole boy" network in Mississippi is so powerful that they have the entire state by the throat and even key parts of Washington. The Delaughter situation is not even a big enough issue in our state. It makes the news, but only in a, "Here's a report for a few seconds/paragraphs," kind of way. If the story were completely ignored, it would be too obvious that the good ole boy network owns the state. I know they have WLBT, WJTV, WAPT, and the Clarion Ledger at least a little bit in their pockets. If this thread continues much longer, I will probably start sounding a whole lot like Mystic and others. The media here is in the midst of a city and state owned by the Baptist mafia. I mean that very literally. The Baptist Church is so powerful here it is outrageous, and the reaches of their conspiracies and pawnings of people with power and influence is jaw dropping. Have you ever noticed how the state capitol building is literally right next door to the biggest Baptist church in Mississippi? First Baptist is the lead church in the Mississippi Baptist Convention, which owns a lot of downtown and the only law school in Jackson, which is one of the only two law schools in Mississippi. The Mississippi Baptist Convention is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, which has some major leashes on the far right wing of the Republican party. Ed Peters, Dickie Scruggs, Bobby Delaughter, the other corrupt judges who are about to get their asses burned by the feds, the attorney general Jim Hood, Trent Lott, and a zillion other Mississippians with power are part of this sick thing. I don't know if all of them are Baptists, but I have seen the signs that they are part of the Baptist mafia, which is a lot like the Sicilian mafia except not as personal and family like. The ones who are not Baptist are probably Methodist, which is just an alter ego of the Baptist Church that people in power here use to make it look like the Mississippi power structure is not all in the hands of the Baptist church. The Baptist mafia, or good ole boy network, is just a big network of corrupt, "You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours. We now have an understanding we can use later, and we can introduce each other to others who will work with us in secrecy." I think most of them are probably atheists or agnostics and just use the Baptist/Methodist church in Mississippi as a power tool. There is a lot of power to be gained by way of a religious denomination.

      That is exactly why I am so excited about this Delaugher issue. I HAAAAATE the Baptist mafia and really want to see it fall. I want those #$%@ &*(%$* to all sink together like a big fleet of battle ships. My hatred for them almost defies description. Maybe I am getting my hopes up too much that their day of doom has finally come, but it looks like maybe it really has. The federal government has finally penetrated them and taken out a few of their soldiers and is giving a hard look at one of their top generals. I think that is profoundly beautiful.

      One of the reasons I argue so much about 9/11 conspiracies and "war all about oil" type stuff is that there is completely real stuff like that going on in the world and I don't like to see people doing what amounts to crying wolf. It is just like when Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson cry out about racism in situations where it does not actually exist. When they do that, they knock big chunks out of people's credibility when they try to expose racism in situations where it really is. I am now talking about a true conspiracy involving very powerful people who I know have really important people in their pockets, and I can't talk about it without sounding like people who have talked about that stuff in places where it has not been proven to exist. I have said all along that maybe it does exist in those places. It does not defy the laws of reality for Bush to have used actual foreign matters that are true problems as an excuse to start wars and get cuts of money from Halliburton. I defninitely see where it is possible. However, I have not seen it proven, and I do know that there are legitimate reasons for our present wars. I hate that people are crying wolf in mass numbers because it hurts our country's ability to make something of circumstances where such things really can be proven.

      AHS, good points. Mystic (etc.) is definitely being put to the test concerning what his intentions have been all this time. Let's see how he scores on it. I did not at all mean for my thread to be a troll test, but it looks like it really works as one.
      Universal mind. You have me all wrong. I do debate with you and others seriously at times about things such as this. You may be suprised how much I can apreciate your point of view. I'm the least apathetic about overall corruption. I understand what I can and cannot do about it. What I do and do not know. Like I have told O'nus. This is for me, your responses are to interest me and my learning. Not to win a debate or teach anything about anything. You don't actually think I'm trying to convert you to anything do you? This is just a forum. Serious research is done personally in my own spare time from authors and people I respect. As is serious discussion. That doesn't mean I can't pick up things here and there from people on the forum. But I don't place a lot of importance on what people think or are involved with on this forum in particular. It's not my concern how people choose to live or what to believe. It's just entertainment before I go to work. Besides lucid dreaming is one of my greatest interests. If you care about this sort of stuff, it goes beyond the forum and what you write on it. It's about how you live your life.

      P.S
      911 is very much symbolic of the processes of mass corruption and how it operates in our society and peoples growing awareness of what is going on. That is why it is so important and key. Also with pictures and other things I post. They have meaning if you could operated less out of your tunnel vision and more in your creative intuitive mind. You would realize there is more going on.

      I don't find the scandal particularly news-grabbing. In some bygone era, such a scandal would probably be a pretty big story, but the news networks of today could hardly be bothered with such a 'local' news story.

      We've seen this before as well, in a different context. Occasionally, Washington officials, former senators, representatives, military officers, and staff get offered lucrative jobs in the private sector on the strongly-implied condition that they push legislation or earmarks that would be beneficial, or on the promise that they will have even greater influence over the legislative process than they had before. My father happens to work as a contracting specialist for the DoA, and has seen this kind of technically-legal bribe take place.

      Could the judge-bribing have a much wider, even more appalling, scope? Perhaps, but the most effective, news-evading bribes are those that occur out in the open, blatantly written into bills and budgets signed by the president himself, or in the super-secret world of unaudited and unverified budget expenses for a multitude of government agencies.

      Today, bribed judges. Tomorrow, Telecom amnesty legislation.

      You're still a hypocrite. Claiming to be just learning from other people while refusing to absorb anything anyone else is saying and yet still have the nerve to call us blind. You fail to see your own hypocrisy. Have you ever heard of projection? I suggest you read up on it and learn from it as you refuse to listen to other people yet claim to be learning from them.

      What is the point of being on a message board if all you are going to do is bark at people, call them ignorant, and take nothing back in turn?

      You have left probably about 100 or more posts on 9/11 in this forum, and you talked about it again in your above post. So, what do you think of multiple judicial bribery involving at least one instance of a former U.S. Senate Majority Leader holding a federal judgeship dangling in the face of a judge while that judge decides the Senator's brother-in-law's fate? You have made zero comments on the subject of this thread even though you have left a few posts.

      By the way, our former attorney general, Mike Moore, somehow ended up with documented information that lawyer Balducci (one of the Scruggs lawyers arrested for judicial bribery) was supposed to keep secret under attorney client privilege when Mike Moore was prosecuting Balducci's client. Our current attorney general, Jim Hood, was Joey Langston's (other original Scruggs lawyer) roommate when they were in law school at Ole Miss. Are you starting to get the picture here? More to come.

      Trent Lott was not a state Senator in the Mississippi legislature when he resigned recently. He was a U.S. Senator in the U.S. Congress. That part is not merely local. Imagine George Bush doing the same thing. Would you consider it an insignificant local story?

      What you are talking about is questionable and very difficult to prove. Judicial bribery, at least in this case, is not either of those. An individual lost $13.5 million dollars because of a decision that was objectively false. It is hard to argue that legislation that has been debated is objectively false. People have already been arrested by the FBI for what I am talking about. Ed Peters is in the FBI's witness protection program because of his part in it.
      You are dreaming right now.

      Corruption seems to be the norm for political affairs in this country recently. Our system needs to undergo some sort of catharsis, although it seems like the only way possible is for it to be a violent one, which isn't really a solution. Somehow we need to break the pattern of corruption leading to military coupe and then vice versa.

      The ability to happily respond to any adversity is the divine.

      Fair enough. I will change my tune. You will no longer percieve me as hypocritical.
