Christy Freeman - Maryland Woman Accused of Performing Multiple Self-Abortions

July 31, 2007

WARNING: If you have a particularly weak stomach, please skip over this article. Fortunately there are plenty others on this blog that would be more appropriate for you. I aim to please in writing a variety of article types to fit the needs of the various personalities that visit Hicktown. Thanks!

In perhaps one of the most gruesome crime scenes ever discovered in the state of Maryland, the bodies of two…no, three…scratch that and make it FOUR infants—were unearthed at the home of Christy Freeman, a 37 year old mother of four. It appears that Ms. Freeman—who has a criminal record, is too lazy to use birth control or have her tubes tied, and consequently has been performing abortions on herself!

This is all “alleged” of course but things don’t look good for Ms. Freeman. The facts all point directly at her.

I’ll pause here and offer you one more opportunity to stop reading if you have a weak stomach. Otherwise, read on…

Check out where that sociopath has been storing the aborted babies:

One dead baby (newly delivered) was found below Ms. Freeman’s bathroom sink

Two dead babies were found in a trunk in Ms. Freeman’s bedroom

One dead baby was found in a motor home parked on her property   Source:

In case you are wondering, this is not Ms. Freeman’s first brush with the law. I went to the public records in Maryland and found the following:

In April, 1997 Ms. Freeman was found guilty and fined for having a dog at large

In June, 1999 Ms. Freeman was found guilty and fined for failing to obtain a dog license

In August, 1999 Ms. Freeman again was fined for allowing her dogs to run loose

I’ve heard that there is a correlation between the way people treat animals and the way they treat children. We can see the correlation here in this case.

In February, 2006 Ms. Freeman lost a civil lawsuit to Atlantic General Hospital and ordered to pay $960.00

On July 27, 2007 Ms. Freeman was arrested (no bail granted) on the following charges:

Charge 1 - Murder - First degree

Charge 2 - Murder - Second degree

Charge 3 - Manslaughter

I’m happy that she was denied bail. She is a flight risk. Any woman bold enough to murder babies and keep them in the house where she lives with her living children and boyfriend is a dangerous woman.

Al Gore III Dodges Justice Again on Drug-Driving Charges

July 30, 2007

Will Al Gore’s son—Al Gore III need to kill somebody before he is finally brought to justice? As I reported  a couple of weeks ago, the younger Gore has a consistent habit of driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.

Former Vice President Al Gore’s son pleaded guilty today to possessing marijuana and other drugs when he was caught speeding this month in Orange County, and he agreed to enter a nine-month drug-diversion program.

Al Gore III entered the plea at his arraignment before Judge Jacob Jager at a Laguna Niguel courthouse, according to senior Deputy Dist. Atty. Jaime Coulter. The plea can be withdrawn and the charges could eventually be dropped if he completes the program.

Gore pleaded guilty to two felony counts of drug possession, two misdemeanor counts of drug possession without a prescription and one misdemeanor count of marijuana possession, according to the district attorney’s office.

Although Al Gore, Jr. likes to give the company line that his son’s anti-social behavior is a “private family matter”, I beg to differ. If he is on private property which he owns and no other cars or pedestrians are in sight, I’d say, go on and drive as fast and as high and as drunk as you so choose. But the younger Gore is taking his drugging, drinking and speeding public.

Obviously drug rehabilitation programs are not working for him. He has entered such programs in the past—only to come out doing exactly what he always has done. That is, drinking, drugging, driving.

And so I ask again. Will Al Gore III need to kill innocent drivers or pedestrians before he is made to pay the piper in full for his misdeeds?

Singer, Usher Breaks off Engagement to Tameka Foster

July 29, 2007

I’ve been posting so many serious articles recently that I thought I’d give you all a break by posting a few entertainment articles. The first in my entertainment series is the singer/dancer, Usher.

I’ve never been a fan of his but he has been in the news lately because of the fact that he is dating a woman named Tameka Foster. She is nine years his senior and left her husband and three children to be with Usher—for whom she had worked as a stylist. She claims to be pregnant by him at this time.

Usher’s mother apparently was not thrilled with the union, voiced her opinion and was fired by Usher—replaced with Tameka as his manager.Usher has been running all over the place, from radio station to media outlets, to yell from the rooftops that he wants his fans to know that all rumors about Tameka are false and that rumors about him firing all who tried to warn him about Tameka are false, and so on.He was scheduled to marry Ms. Foster on Saturday, July 28th. However…the National Enquirer sort of threw a monkey wrench in those plans. And before you write off the publication, remember that the NE is sometimes wrong but it’s not always wrong:

“Poor Usher has no idea who he’s marrying,” said Valencia Foster (Tameka’s half sister). “He’s a wonderful guy, but Tameka is giving him a big time snow job.”

The family met for a “getting to know the in-laws” dinner in Tameka’s hometown of Oakland, Calif., on July 7 as the couple finalized plans for a July 28 wedding.

Valencia, 49, explained that Usher led a prayer before dinner, then turned to her and said:

“You know all the family secrets, tell me about them.” Before I could say a word, Tameka kicked me so hard under the table she almost put a hole in my leg,” Valencia said.

“Then she pulled me aside and whispered: “‘Don’t tell him anything.’”

Tameka, fleeing from a troubled home life, moved in with Valencia when she was 11. “She arrived with $14 in food stamps in her purse,” Valencia re-called. “She turned out to be a nightmare.”

By 14, she had become involved with a married drug dealer five years older than her, Valencia says.

“I banned him from the house, but four years later she was pregnant with his baby when his car was ambushed and he was riddled with bullets. Tameka missed being with him in the car by minutes.”

Court records show that Tameka has been arrested twice. In 1991, she served 20 days in the Los Angeles County Jail for petty theft and was placed on probation for two years. Records indicate she had previously served jail time.

An earlier arrest in Alameda County, Calif., involved “some kind of welfare fraud, and she was sentenced to perform community service,” said Valencia.

Tameka, Usher’s former wardrobe stylist, has three children and is expecting the singer’s baby in the fall. Usher, 28, recently shocked fans by reportedly firing his manager/mother and replacing her with Tameka.

The 36-year-old bride asked her father, John Foster, to give her away at the wedding in the Hampton’s, the tony New York enclave. But Tameka threatened to ban her mom from the ceremony, because she had lost her false teeth!

“Tameka told her: ‘You’re not coming to my wedding without teeth,’” Valencia said.

“I asked her why she didn’t buy her mother a new set, and she told me: ‘Let her get her own (bleeping) teeth- she didn’t take care of me when I was young.’”

Valencia says Tameka’s mom bought the new teeth herself, and she believes one day Usher will discover the truth about his new bride. “Usher is so much in love he’s under her spell,” she said. “But he’s going to find out she’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Source
Usher has submitted the following press release:

“It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond, IV and Tameka Foster was canceled. No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected.” Source

And for those of you who need a little more convincing, look at the image at the top of this article. It’s a copy of one of her arrests.

New Orleans in Bad Shape as Voodoo Industry Thrives

July 29, 2007

      When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005, the entire world was shocked. Not since Sodom and Gomorrah has such an horrific incident been recorded in history. An entire city was pretty much wiped off the map.At the time that the hurricane hit, New Orleans was in bad shape educationally, morally, financially, legally, etc. People who could afford to leave New Orleans were jumping ship, and as they left, criminals—from crooked police officers to high ranking political figures to street thugs, pimped and abused that city like pins in a Louisiana voodoo doll.Two days after the hurricane struck, the following article was written:

Thousands of opportunistic vultures have looted stores all over the city, and shot in the head one police officer who tried to stop them. The New Orleans Times-Picayune has posted photos on its website of other police officers joining in the widespread theft from unattended stores. Looters have picked clean Wal-Mart’s gun department downtown. This anarchy is regrettably not all that surprising. Disaster does not make a weak peacetime civil and social infrastructure strong. Unfortunately, New Orleans must now ask for deserved billions in recovery money even as Americans see images of a city that loots itself on its worst day.

New Orleans teems with crime, and the NOPD can’t keep order on a good day. Former commissioner Richard Pennington brought New Orleans’ crime rate down from its peak during the mid-1990s. But since Pennington’s departure, crime rates have soared, to ten times the national average. The NOPD might have hundreds of decent officers, but it has a well-deserved institutional image as corrupt, brutal, and incompetent.

How can the police officers of New Orleans be expected to keep order there when clearly they are a large part of New Orleans’ corruption problem? Since when has it been safe for the fox to watch the hen house?

In New Orleans, 11 police officers were convicted of accepting nearly $100,000 from undercover agents to protect a cocaine supply warehouse containing 286 pounds of cocaine. The undercover portion of the investigation was terminated when a witness was killed under orders from a New Orleans police officer.

In November, 2005— three months post-disaster, more was exposed about the city:

“Always broke. Worst school system in the state. Highest crime rate in the nation. Shrinking population. All the corporations have moved out,” said Bernie Pinsonat, a political analyst in Baton Rouge. “Any poll I do, the rest of Louisiana thinks, ‘New Orleans is a deep, dark hole, and no matter how much money we send, it doesn’t seem to get better.’ “

Interesting that Mr. Pinsonat mentioned that the city always is broke and that any money that enters it literally and figuratively goes into a “dark hole”.

In 2006, Congress gave Louisiana $7.2 billion as a means to help relieve suffering of the citizens of the State Louisiana that suffered storm damage from hurricanes Katrina and Rita. as of March 1, 2007 Louisiana has issued less than $3 million of those funds in the form of grants and have still not processed over 80,000 and applications. However, at last report the State only had $5.2 billion left. With a maximum grant of $150,000 it makes one wonder where the rest of the funds gone too.

With crime rates in New Orleans sky high at this moment and money unaccounted for, it appears that the only thing that continues to live and thrive in New Orleans is its voodoo industry:

The New Orleans Voodoo Music Experience held annually in City Park was, and now is again, in the Wizard’s opinion, one of the better local events. Due to the damage to the City Park location by hurricane Katrina, the 2005 Vooodoo Music Experience was held in other locations in a best they could do, show must go on, make do.

Now two years later,after a lot of hard work and planning, the Voodoo Music Experience is back,BIGTIME,and expanded.

The 2007 Voodoo Music Festival is being expanded to 3 days,from Friday Oct. 26 through Sunday Oct. 28.

Haunted House Voodoo Tours

Cemetary Voodoo Tours

African Bone Readings, Palm Readings, Card Readings     

Although I definitely did not want anyone to die or become harmed in that hurricane—in some ways it may be a pity that the entire city was not washed off the map after the people escaped, so as to start all over again.

Chinese Mexican, Zhenli Ye Gon, Arrested with $207 Million in His Home

July 28, 2007

Well, it appears that Mexico is now sending us more than illegal aliens. Their latest “gift” to us is methamphetamines. In fact, Mexico now has moved ahead as one of the largest suppliers of the drug in the world.

Zhenli Ye Gon was arrested in a Maryland restaurant Monday evening, four months after police discovered $207 million at his Mexico City mansion in what U.S. officials have called the world’s biggest seizure of drug cash. Source

Mexican officials had been searching for the allusive Ye Gon, a China-born Mexican citizen who seemed to slip effortlessly and illegally into the U.S.  Given the serious problems that this country has with all forms of illegal drugs, Ye Gon definitely represented a threat to weak minded Americans who are out looking for a drug fix.

Mexican police in March raided a mansion owned by Ye Gon and found wads of U.S. bank notes in bulging suitcases and overflowing closets.

Seven people were arrested after that raid in the swanky Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood. It also turned up six Mercedes-Benz vehicles and pistols equipped with silencers, but Ye Gon escaped to the United States.

Ye Gon, a naturalized Mexican, is accused of importing through Mexican ports huge quantities of chemicals used to make the powerful stimulant crystal meth. Source

Mexico has a reputation for having a high tolerance for criminals. The fact that they have specifically requested the extradition of Ye Gon speaks to the amount of damaging information he must have on some high ranking Mexican officials.

Ye Gon also claimed that $150 million of the money belonged to Mexico’s ruling party, and that he was forced to store it for party officials in his mansion under threat of death during the 2006 presidential race, which Felipe Calderon narrowly won. Source

Stay tuned as the plot thickens

AOL’s Response to “Niggermania” Website Complaint

July 27, 2007

UPDATE 8/15/07 -   If you entered this blog by using any searchword containing “nigger”, be certain to read this article that I wrote for you:  GO HERE 

A friend of mine recently sent me a link to a website called Niggermania. In short, the website is apparently written by a man—several probably, whose entire existence is based on collecting bad pictures of black people; offensive jokes about blacks;  Rants about how much they hate blacks; Reports that blacks are not human, etc. As I reported in another article, they also threaten to murder, maim and lynch blacks. When you consider that it is impossible to enter the racist website, StormFront from AOL, I decided to contact AOL because Niggermania is MUCH worse than Stormfront.

After filing two formal complaints and receiving no response, I contacted a corporate executive at AOL. I received the following response:

Ms. Lynn Green,

We did receive your complaint regarding the websites. AOL’s search engine is powered by Google. Therefore if you had questions concerning those websites you would need to direct them towards Google. Thank you.

AOL Member Services

Okay, to prove that AOL has some type of power over the websites that are viewed, look at the message you will receive when you attempt to enter StormFront’s website.

AOL Safety Alert: Known Spam Solicitation Site

Note to site owner: If you feel your site is being blocked in error, please visit postmaster.aol.com

I wonder why such a “spam notice” cannot be attached to the Niggermania website? This feels like a run-around to me.  In spite of that, I’ll contact Google and see what they say.

“Apostle” Gerald Griffith Receives 15 Years for Sexually Assaulting Children

July 27, 2007

 UPDATE: 8/18/07 - “Apostle Griffith” pleads GUILTY

 I have reported about Gerald Griffith’s sexual abuse of children.  I talked about how he took those innocent children into his office to “counsel” them, but instead sodomized and/or raped and/or assaulted them. I even reported on one of the Apostle’s members who wrote to this blog, cursing me out. I actually only posted half of her vile letter—just enough to show everyone the level of filth his church produces.

The sexual abuse of male and female children went on for years.  In fact, the “Great Apostle” was so mentally ill, sick, and pompous that he had the gall to continue abusing children even after the accusations against him began. He was, in fact, so arrogant—believing his own hype and his church members’ delusion that he was God, that he obviously believed that he was above and beyond reproach.

Maryland citizens have been on pins and needles since June, awaiting the “Apostle’s” sentencing. The bible says that a man reaps what he sows and Gerald Griffith’s reaping has just begun, as not only did he receive FIFTEEN years for what he did to those trusting children in his Baltimore church, but in August, 2007, he has to go back to court for abusing FIVE more children—this group in Howard County!

Even in defeat, Griffith was too high minded to admit guilt. Instead, he sat there and cried like a little girl, while asking the judge to give him “house arrest” so that he could continue preaching. Huh?! Can you believe the nerve of that man? He sodomized, assaulted, raped, and threatened children. He told one little girl that telling on him was equal to telling on God and that she would die if she reported him. And for all the abuse of all those children, he wants house arrest?

Griffith also spoke, asking through tears and a cracking voice for a home incarceration that would allow him to continue preaching. He was largely inaudible from the gallery, where supporters cried as he talked.

“I’ve given my life to save other lives,” he said.

He looked at the victim. “I care for him, and I still do,” he said, as the younger man shook his head. BaltimoreSun

I believe that what Griffith truly is upset about is the fact that his reign of terror on young children has come to an end. No longer can he look parents in the eyes, tell them he will counsel their troubled children, take the children back in his office alone, and sexually assault them. It’s over. And not only is it over, there is more to come after this Howard County trial ends.

Well Apostle Griffith, the wheels of God do grind exceedingly slow—but it grinds for certain.

Barry Bonds Soon to Break Record As “Steroid Cloud” Looms

July 27, 2007

       I’ll be the first to admit that my baseball knowledge is limited. In fact, I only became truly interested in baseball in 2005, which is when I married my husband—a baseball historian and die-hard fan. His enthusiasm rubbed off on me and before I knew it, I was at a baseball game, mistakenly cheering for the wrong team, and absolutely loving the game.

Now that baseball is on my radar, it stands to reason that Barry Bonds is also on my radar. I love his attitude. He is a man’s man. He does not buck, scratch where he does not itch, or engage in any minstrel behaviors—never. In spite of the controversy that follows him around like a crazed stalker, he stands his ground.

Of course the primary story that has hounded him over the years is that he is a steroid abuser. Yet, he has not actually tested positive for steroids. In addition to that fact, he clearly is not on steroids at this moment so how do those who question his skills account for the fact that as a man in his early 40’s he is still knocking that ball out of the park? Clearly, his talent is authentic and natural.

People (myself included) hate it when race is brought in as an issue or explanation when a person of color finds him/herself up against a wall or in controversy. No one wants race to be used as a cop out. Yet, I must be honest and admit that I believe race is the only reason Bonds is being demonized in the press.

Barry Bonds presents a “threat” to some in the mainstream. He can be called a strong black man with a backbone. That trait (having a backbone) unfortunately is missing in too many men today regardless of race or background.

I recently read a wonderful article on this topic—The Unforgiven: Jack Johnson & Barry Bonds. The article compared a former boxer (Jack Johnson) from the early 1900’s to Barry Bonds. During his time, Jack Johnson was known as an “uppity nigger”. So much so, that it’s only a miracle that he was not lynched and castrated for some of his antics. For example, he proudly escorted white women all around town. That was unheard of in that day and time.

 

The media whipped up a frenzy around the need for a “great white hope” (a phrase coined by author Jack London) to restore order to the boxing world - and the world in general. Former champion Jim Jeffries was coaxed out of retirement and said, “I am going into this fight for the sole purpose of proving that a white man is better than a Negro.”

In the weeks before their fight, Johnson - in stark contrast to the standard African-American posture of the day - was more than willing to be heard. In a July 4, 1910, Philadelphia Inquirer story titled, “Johnson believes he’s Jeff’s master,” he is quoted as saying, “I honestly believe that in pugilism I am Jeffries’ master, and it is my purpose to demonstrate this in the most decisive way possible. … Let me say in conclusion that I believe the meeting between Mr. Jeffries and myself will be a great test of strength, skill, and endurance. The tap of the gong will be music to me.”

This might seem tame by contemporary standards, but at the time it was verbal TNT. To say he was a white man’s master a mere fifty years after the formal end of chattel slavery was simply explosive.

But Johnson wasn’t merely despised: he was hated by one America and revered - if not loved - by another.

When Jeffries and Johnson finally squared off, the ringside band played, “All Coons Look Alike to Me,” and promoters led the all-white crowd in the chant “Kill the nigger.” But Johnson was faster, stronger, and smarter than Jeffries, knocking him out with ease. In an early incarnation of the information superhighway, young children working as “telegram runners” ran through city streets shouting out the progress after each round. Bonds/Johnson article

That type of in-your-face braveness and nerve is what made Johnson the most hated “negro” of his time.

        He was seen as arrogant, disrespectful and most important—he was viewed as a colored dude who did not know his “place”.

Barry Bonds is today’s Jack Johnson. Like Johnson, he is a dominator in his sport, a pantheon player: the only person in baseball history with 500 home runs and 500 stolen bases, a seven-time Most Valuable Player, and eventual home run king.

He is also, like Johnson, someone who plays with a mammoth chip on his shoulder, a chip handed down - as one writer put it -”like an heirloom” from his father, Bobby Bonds, a talented player of the 1960s skewered by the media and front offices for his own pro-pride, pro-union politics.

It is hardly difficult to find sportswriters or sports fan blogs slamming Bonds as a steroid using, foul-mouthed malcontent. But even players have broken ranks to jump on his back. Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, a man with GOP senatorial aspirations, said, “He admitted to cheating on his wife, cheating on his taxes, and cheating on the game.” (Actually, none of that is true. Leaked grand jury testimony had Bonds saying he unintentionally used a steroid cream. The other two allegations are unproven.) It was so bombastic, sports columnists and talk radio yappers criticized Schilling and he was forced to offer an apology.

…the FBI has even approached players about wearing a wire in an effort to get Bonds on tape admitting steroid use. Bonds/Johnson article

Why do blacks in particular believe that Bonds is being mistreated mainly because he is black? Because like it or not, blacks generally do get treated differently in the media as well as justice system. A few years back, Wayne Gretzky’s wife was accused of having a connection to a group of shady characters who bet on games—including hockey games. There were even tapes of Gretzky trying to figure out a way to protect his wife. Yet, that case was in the media for a brief period (two weeks?) and then abruptly disappeared.

Lawyers involved in the case said details of the three-month investigation should not be made public.

“I have never been involved in a case where the prosecution has engaged in such inappropriate conduct in terms of making investigators available to the press, appearing on nationally syndicated television,” said Kevin Marino, a lawyer for Tocchet, who was granted an indefinite leave from the NHL Wednesday. “It’s improper, it’s unwarranted and I will not tolerate it.”

“We are not going to try this case in the press and we’re not going to let them either,” he said. Gretzky’s secret case

Gretzky’s lawyers got their wish. The case went away from the media and apparently away, in general—like a puff of smoke. Gone. Never again to be discussed. Do you seriously believe that a black man would have received such royal treatment?

As of this writing, Bonds is within two hits of making history. It’s unfortunate that such a cloud of doubt hangs over his impending accomplishment. I, for one, cannot help but wonder if things would have been different for this “uppity negro” with the Jack Johnson sized chip on his shoulder if he were the complexion of Mark McGwire...or Wayne Gretzky
