On October 20, 1987, indignant Maryland judge Vincent Femina tried and sentenced the convicted Massachusetts murderer Willie Horton to two consecutive life terms plus 85 years for crimes committed in Maryland, including assault, armed robbery, and rape.
Horton pleaded with Judge Femina to send him back to Massachusetts where he could serve out the remainder of his life sentence for the brutal murder of a teenage boy.
At the time, technocratic Massachusetts Governor Dukakis was releasing violent criminals for weekend furloughs “as an experiment” in case the overcrowded prisons might someday release hundreds of criminals back into society. On one particular Friday, Horton was furloughed, fled to Maryland, and tortured a young Maryland couple, telling them, “I like this life. I choose this life.”
Judge Femia refused to return Horton to Massachusetts, stating, "I'm not prepared to take the chance that Mr. Horton might again be furloughed or otherwise released. This man should never draw a breath of free air again."
Horton continues to rot away in a Maryland maximum security prison.
What is being released right now is not transparency.
It is controlled disclosure.
Fragments.
Selective timing.
Curated narratives.
Carefully engineered confusion.
Enough to distract.

“Our problem as Americans is we actually hate history. What we love is nostalgia.’

“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
–Paul Anleitner
