Two Members of New Black Panther Party Convicted of Plot to Blow Up St. Louis, MO Police Station and To Kill Officers



Brandon Orlando Baldwin, 24, left, and Olajuwon Ali Davis, 23

[From article]
Two men who met during the Ferguson protests and plotted violence against law enforcement admitted in federal court here Tuesday that they planned to blow up a police station, the top St. Louis County prosecutor and the Ferguson police chief.
Olajuwon Ali Davis, 23, and Brandon Orlando Baldwin, 24, each pleaded guilty of four explosives and gun charges that will carry seven-year prison terms when the men are sentenced Aug. 31.
[. . .]
Federal agents and police tracked them and their calls and texts for weeks, recording some of the conversations. The two discussed using Baldwin, who was then an employee of the Cabela’s store in Hazelwood, to buy guns for felons and others. Baldwin admitted that he did buy three guns, falsifying federal forms by saying that the weapons were for him.
[. . .]
Baldwin, speaking to a second informer, said he wanted to build “bombs and blow things up,” his plea says, and “hit them in places where it hurt, hit someone important.”
[. . .]
Baldwin said one target was an unidentified police headquarters, to “destroy their communications.” Also mentioned as targets were St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch and then-Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, the plea agreements say.
[. . .]
Law enforcement sources previously identified the Gateway Arch as a bomb target.
[. . .]
Investigators previously identified both defendants as members of the St. Louis Chapter of the New Black Panther Party. Baldwin also is known as Brandon Muhammad, according to court documents, and Davis also uses the last name Ali and goes by Brother Ali. Baldwin described himself as a field marshal for the party, his plea says. Davis said that he once carried a gun as part of a security detail for the party.
Davis spoke in October at a New Black Panther rally at the Greater St. Mark Family Church about the killing of Brown. Davis was identified that day as the Missouri chapter’s “minister of law.”

Boston FBI Agent Remains In Florida Prison, After Murder Conviction Vacated

WANTS OUT: Disgraced ex-FBI agent John Connolly, seen in 2005, wants to be released from a Florida prison while an appeals court considers his second-degree murder conviction.

[From article]
Not so fast, Zip Connolly. You ain’t goin’ nowhere, whatever that 10-judge panel in Miami decides about your second-degree murder conviction in the 1982 slaying of crooked gangland wannabe John Callahan in Fort Lauderdale.
Oh sure, the most corrupt FBI “special” agent in history thinks he’ll soon be a free man again. But guess what, Zip — at age 74, you’re still looking at one, possibly two, murder trials back here. And given the fact that two of your fellow wiseguys, Whitey Bulger and Johnny Martorano, each spent 17 years on the lam, I’m guessing bail is going to be a real problem.
The hearing on Zip’s appeal was held in Miami yesterday in front of the 3rd District Court of Appeal. As the Miami Herald put it yesterday, it’s all very “murky,” but one fact isn’t:
Zip Connolly is guilty as hell and should spend the rest of his wretched life in prison.
Which is where the murders back here come into play. First, the execution of Richie Castucci, an FBI informant, in Somerville (Middlesex County) back in 1976. Stevie Flemmi, another FBI rat, has testified that Zip told his paymaster and personal hero, Whitey Bulger, that Castucci was a rat, after which Whitey did his best Jimmy Cagney:

Carr: Lots of unfinished business awaits John Connolly

[From article]
Last year, a three-judge panel of the Third District Court of Appeals in Miami threw out Connolly’s conviction because Martorano didn’t use the G-man’s weapon to kill Callahan, and Connolly was 1,500 miles away in Massachusetts. Prosecutors objected and were granted tomorrow’s hearing before all 10 appellate justices.
Connolly will not attend, McDonald said. The Florida Supreme Court, meanwhile, has still not ruled on Connolly’s petition to be released pending the appeals court’s final decision.
“Florida law is very clear: It has to be the weapon that was used in the commission of the crime,” McDonald said. “But for the state appealing that decision, and but for the Third District Court agreeing to hear it ... John would be a free man. The guy’s sentence was thrown out and he’s still in jail.”
Prosecutors claim in their brief that much more than a gun made Connolly liable for Callahan’s death, stating he told the FBI “Callahan had a falling out with a group of Cuban drug dealers in Miami so that ... the FBI would focus its investigation on Cuban drug dealers in Miami rather than on Bulger and Flemmi in Boston.”

Florida Domestic Dispute Leaves Two Dead




[From article]
Melbourne Mayor Kathy Meehan told Florida Today the shooting stemmed from a domestic dispute between a woman who worked in the Melbourne Square Mall food court and the woman's husband.
She said the man had a gun and shot his wife. A co-worker of the woman then tried to get the gun away from the husband and was shot in the struggle and died.
The mayor told the paper the husband then apparently shot himself.

Miami Murder Victim Believed To Be The Devil



[From article]
The 21-year-old accused of a double murder in a SW Miami-Dade home said, according to police, he wanted to kill the male victim because he believed he “was the devil.”

If all people who thought others were the devil killed them population reduction would be very apparent.

Man Got 10 Years Probation for Killing One Wife Arrested for Shooting Second Wife

Here's another interesting example of how the criminal justice system works in the United States. This man received a sentence of ten years probation, no jail time, for killing his first wife in 1987. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter then, a plea bargain. In September 2011 he was arrested for killing his second wife then shooting a pastor during a church service. He was not under surveillance by any law enforcement agency, not local, not state or federal.

But alas moi is such a great threat to the city, to the state and to the United States government, I am under 24/7 surveillance 365 days and 366 on leap year. As a bonus they harass me trying to provoke violence. They tell me to "Accept your fate." The police and the FBI say I am mentally ill. No need for psychiatrists when anyone can make a diagnosis. Psychiatry is everyman's illness. Everyman can recognize it and everyman can treat it. It makes for frustrated police and FBI agents, when I do not act as expected.

How many thousands of man hours have local police and their criminal informants, FBI agents and their army of criminal informants and state police and their criminal informants spent trying to provoke me over 40 years to violence? How many times have the courts been used for police frame-ups? How many lawyers were paid to not put on any defense to false charges? How many court clerks were paid not to file papers as they are required to file them under law? How many hours did control freaks among the police, the FBI and the psychiatric cabal tried to gain control of my body and my mind? Too many hours for sure.

The wasted taxpayer funds would make me wealthy. If the FBI paid me for the 15 years they used me to fight organized crime I would be wealthy. But they gave the money to a control freak woman who used the money to control me! If they gave me the money used trying to have me arrested and/or put into a hospital, I would be wealthy. They use young women as bait showing more about their own perversions than about me. When I do not go for the bait they harass me at my home every day and every night, as punishment for not doing wrong.


Massachusetts appropriates and spends more than $2 billion each year funding human services corporations and professionals. They are paid to help vulnerable persons. But they mostly help themselves. When the police and the FBI say I am mentally ill, they create extraordinary legal protections for me from abuses. If a person is perceived as having a disability that is a legal disability under state and US laws. Never mind the obscenity of police harassing a person they say is mentally ill. Is that a proper use of police powers by the FBI?

But when I petition the many human services corporations who are paid to prevent criminal abuses of persons with disabilities they tell me, "We can't help you." Or they say, "Go away there is nothing wrong with you." So the police and the FBI have it both ways. They scare others broadcasting character assassination. When I seek help they ensure there is no response from the taxpayer funded human services professionals; who often join the police and the FBI in character assassination using taxpayer funds for non consensual psychiatric evaluations and testing. These are violations of state and US privacy laws. More taxpayer funds wasted every day of every year.


The police and the FBI are not motivated by my criticism of their patrons, the spineless politicians and over paid non profit corporate officials with relaxed rectitude. If I withhold criticism, the harassment does not end. Under state and US laws intimidating a person in the free exercise of a constitutionally guaranteed right is a felony under state and US laws. In Massachusetts it does not matter if the person acts under color of law or not. Attacking me in retaliation for constitutionally protected expression is a felony violation of state and US laws.

A low income housing lawyer suggested how to react to government harassment. He said, if they harass you for one hour then you spend an hour complaining, they get two hours for the cost of one. It does not make sense to complain. But if you do not complain at all, then the police say, "Why didn't you file a complaint?" It only wastes more time. The most effective way of neutralizing citizen critics is to have them enter the court system to try to get relief. Then the courts are used for harassment and for surveillance. I spent 5 years in state and US court in a landlord tenant action after a landlord locked me out of my home although my rent was paid. It was in the words of a Supreme Court case, "an exercise in futility." I spent many weeks filing complaints against judges and court clerks who were toying with my complaints. Some of the judges' clerks had fun dismissing complaints. They were mostly recent graduates of Harvard Law School. Two US judges resigned after I filed complaints. The Clerk of the Supreme Court of the US was replaced after I complained that he did not file my papers properly.

In 1990 after I wrote to the police complaining about police harassment they arrested me. When I complained to the taxpayer funded Elder Services protection hot line, they sent police to watch me and to test me using young women as bait. When I complained to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Disability Rights Division, they sent a state police informant to watch me and to test me using young women as bait. Are all these taxpayer funded human services corporations run by sexual perverts?
