Even more songs from the Site Meter: visits over USPS inspector Mark Hines & Democratic counsel Diana Oo, and much more...

Site Meter--This first site hit is an interesting one! Mark Hines was the alleged beginning--the "genesis" if you will--of the investigation into the DC Madam.

Hines was (is?) the U.S. Postal inspector who allegedly first noticed Deborah Jeane Palfrey and her escort service, Pamela Martin & Associates, a seldom told part of the story. According to court documents, the investigation began in August of 2001 when Hines "noticed" a pattern with Palfrey's mail--there were a disproportionate number of money orders coming to her mailbox, or so the story goes. I don't take it at face value. You know, there is such a thing as hierarchy, and God knows that there are forces in this country (and in Palfrey's phone records) who love reminding us of this fact. I'm here to do the same today.

So, was it just little old Mark Hines finding Palfrey and keeping the investigation alive? That's impossible, but we're all supposed to believe it. Somehow, I don't think that's exactly how it went down. Law enforcement in San Diego and around the beltway (the D.C. area) knew her history and at least in Alexandria, Virginia, the cops knew she was operating her escort service in the nation's capital as early as 1994, that she was running a prostitution operation. When you look at her newsletters, you might get the impression that the fix was on in her favor at the time. She seems to feel pretty self-assured that it was all going to go away, and by 1997 it did. Interestingly, Senator Vitter's calls (some of them from the floor of the House) to obtain sex from prostitutes overlaps the beginning of the investigation into Palfrey and PMM, he made some calls beginning in 1999 and apparently ending in 2001.

Honestly, I cannot prove it right now, but it wouldn't surprise me if this site hit was Mr. Hines-- inspector Hines--but it most definitely has to do with the Palfrey case, they went right to a specific part of my archives. He should know that I'm going to be including him in my own account of my experiences surrounding the Palfrey scandal and that he doesn't look so upstanding or honest so far, but that's my opinion. In other words, inspector Hines might want to contact me some time for a chat, clear things up. Surely, he never will. I am very close to 100% certain that USPS inspector Hines was ordered onto the the Palfrey investigation and that others up the chain-of-command--coming directly from the Bush II White House--were pushing them at the USPS to protect their own in the GOP.

Someone alerted Hines to Palfrey's operations, and someone helped him keep the investigation alive from 2001 until the fall of 2006, that's 100% certain. Who were they? Did it come from the White House under George W. Bush, from the Justice Department? To coordinate so many governmental institutions would require going fairly high up the chain.

To Senator Vitter: figuratively speaking, I am coming for you. I will never rest until the real blame you and your counsel deserve is affixed to your backs, your foreheads, for how things ended with Jeane. "Hate" isn't a strong enough word for what I feel for you and I would hope that the Palfreys understand that any deals they make in closing the book on their end (I refuse to be silenced) is making a deal with the very people who not only could have prevented her death, but pushed her to it to protect corrupt, privileged fucktards like Davey. The morons in Louisiana might be dumb enough to vote for you Senator Vitter, but I and many others are the corrective measure, the reformist impulse that's going to help you take yourself down faster--besides the uncontrollable, politically and legally unaccountable, and likely very tiny, "Mr. Winkie."

And as I write this, I've just received this newsletter from Montgomery Blair Sibley, former civil counsel to the late Ms. Palfrey:

I make the "Watch List" Posted: 15 Sep 2009 10:30 AM PDT I was stopped at the door of the U.S. Courthouse in Washington, D.C. today by the U.S. Marshal's Service. They indicated that I was on their "Watch and Escort List" and needed an armed escort to go to the Clerk's office in order to file some legal papers. What fun! I stand in good company. My family was so proud when then-President Nixon put my grandmother, Mrs. Harper Sibley on his enemies list. She was on Nixon's enemies list we later learned because she was president of that radical group --the United Council of Church Women. Anyway, here is my letter to the Marshal's Service in response . . . United States Marshal George B. Walsh U.S. Courthouse 333 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20001 Re: Inclusion on United States Marshal’s “Watch & Escort List” I write to inquire upon what basis I have been placed on the United States Marshal’s “Watch & Escort List” at the U.S. Courthouse at 333 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Today, for the second time in the last two months, I was stopped at the security checkpoint at the 3rd Street, N.W. entrance immediately upon entering and before I presented any identification. The United States Marshal on duty informed me that he was required to have me escorted in the building and immediately called someone to escort me to the Clerk’s office where I had a matter to file. I was escorted to and from that office and then left the building. While at all times all members of the United States Marshal’s Service treated me with dignity and respect, I nonetheless must write and inquire – pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act – upon what basis I have been accorded this special – and chilling – treatment in pursuit of my First Amendment right to petition the government. I do not believe that my suspension from the practice of law by this Court – without hearing I might add – merits such treatment. Nor does the fact that as counsel for the D.C. Madam, Jeane Palfrey, I am in possession of heretofore not publically released telephone records which contain the telephone numbers of individuals who work in the U.S. Courthouse and identify them as customers of the escort service, merit such treatment. Accordingly, please either provide promptly the basis for the inclusion of my name on the United States Marshal’s “Watch & Escort List” at the U.S. Courthouse at 333 Constitution Avenue, N.W., so that I may challenge such defamation of my character or confirm in writing that I am not on such a list so that I may have such letter with me whenever I desire to enter the Courthouse.

Counselor Sibely could perhaps be viewed as "eccentric" by some, but there's no indication that he's ever shown a propensity for violence, I've seen no indication of this whatsoever. Who ordered this and why? Why isn't the House Judiciary Committee looking into this? Why the special treatment?

But one thing's for sure: they're still shitting themselves in D.C. over a dead woman and the root- system of corruption her case inadvertently began to uncover until potential inquiries into it were shut down. Whoever said that this story was over has no idea, none. Were it over, this situation with counselor Sibley wouldn't be happening, they're afraid of him to do something like this. When Federal Marshals are briefed (presumably with photographs) to know someone at first-glance, something's up, and it's not simply a man's reputation but the very real threat he presents to what I believe is unaccountable power quaking in its boots.

They should quake.

What do we want? I know what I want: an independent investigation into the real roots of the prosecution of the late Deborah Jeane Palfrey, and that's just for starters. As to someone at Georgetown University (where the law is taught) looking for information on Ms. Oo, I leave it to you, the readers, to decide. They can keep trying to quarantine this story, but I refuse to be silenced.

"Nirvana members dismayed by 'Guitar Hero 5' "

WWW--You know...who gives a shit? He shot himself (or at least that's the story) with a shotgun sixteen years ago because, ultimately, he was a loser, Kurt Cobain. I loved a lot of his songwriting, but if you want to stop being a star, being famous, there are plenty of ways out, and he had the imagination to do it too.

Many careers in entertainment have been sabotaged, take your pick. It's funny: I recall hearing their first album before the hype and just thought they were so-so, just OK, nothing extraordinary. Did I mention that I hate Seattle and its weather and all the rich assholes that populate what was once a blue collar town? I'd do heroin too.

But seriously--so you can "unlock" the avatar of Cobain and have him play other people's songs? Great! Kurt Cobain doing Bob Seger or Ted Nugent songs seems fitting to me since all of them were the death of rock as a mass movement phenomena anyway. Cobain was just that final gurgle, now it's a microcosmic affair when it's real, generally emanating out of garages in crumbling suburbia, less and less a sad spin-off of the American dream. Who cares? The believers, the fanatics, also known as "fans," the etymological source of the term.

And considering that Cobain's estate signed-off on the deal that Activision could use Nirvana songs and his image as an avatar--well, you do the math, they did. I'm doing the math too and finding that the surviving members of Nirvana strike me as disingenuous, and that's being nice, but I guess they're entitled. With Courtney Love...forget about it. As usual, she's the loud-mouthed tramp she always was, a washed-up starfucker and a nut, and these claims that she's going to "sue" Activision just sound good, they make good copy. She's ugly in every way and her music was never good, ever, not even for a moment.

And while I'm on the subject of Cobain being dead, why not take a casual look at the suicide? I have to wonder if Alex Constantine is saying he was murdered by the government since that also sounds good and makes good copy for the terminally stoned and paranoid. But no, I don't think Cobain was murdered by anyone at all, he was simply a loser. What I believe happened is that his dirty wife was his drug enabler; he was hiding from her as much as he could to kick; she found him; they shot-up together, "for old time's sake," and he died on her of an overdose. You do the math, my take.

Frankly, when someone's totally fucked up their life as he did, having an avatar of you singing Bon Jovi songs is an afterthought that cannot compare to the original disaster. Nobody had to remind me what a pathetic and embarrassing decade the 1990s were, it was. Jimi Hendrix is on one of the games. You can unlock all of the avatars. Get over it. As many others have astutely pointed-out, Cobain left behind a child and he was therefore selfish and dishonorable. Now he's part of the "too stupid to make it to thirty" club. Courtney apparently feels the same way but now just wants to save face with her stupid, feigned drama over this non-issue.

She authorized it, the surviving members of the band did not, they lost a lawsuit against her years ago and had no control over it, she did. At least their dismay is sincere. Face it: rock as a mass movement that's real has been dead for decades, over a generation. Now it has a video game. Long live music, rock is a corpse that's been humped dry. God knows the boomers have talked about themselves to the point that nobody gives a shit anymore.
