Voir Dire, Part 1: Keith Harmon Snow Understands

10

by Mary W Maxwell, LLB

This is a new series, sort of subsidiary to the “Everybody Knows” series. And by the way, 18 parts of that series can now be accessed all in one pdf.  Go to Gumshoe’s Books page for it.

“Voir dire” is French for Tell the truth,” but it’s used in courts to mean that during a trial, the parties or the judge can set up a mini-meeting to clarify a point.  “Let’s have a voir dire,” dear. I have seen one completed in less that 5 minutes at the bench. But it can also be the name of a big procedure, such as jury selection. (Tsarnaev’s lasted three weeks.) I intend that my little voir dire’s will fill in some points regarding Dr Russell Pridgeon’s trial.

And other persons who want to chime in with data on the Pridgeon case can send their voir dire to me at MaxwellMaryLLB@gmail.com or to McLachlanDee@gmail.com.

This morning I heard from Keith Harmon Snow, to whom I sent Pridgeon’s book, Everybody Knows. Keith sent me a new video of Nick Bryant interviewing him.  It’s great; I will post it below. Nick did the study of child trafficking during the Bush administration, and is author of The Franklin Scandal. (He is not the Nick Bryant at Sydney Morning Herald, or the one at the BBC!) He says he fights constantly with Wikipedia over reports like this:

“After investigation, a grand jury in Douglas County, where Omaha, Nebraska is situated, determined the abuse allegations were baseless, describing them as a “carefully crafted hoax” and indicting two of the original accusers on perjury charges.”

Keith Snow mentions, in the video, a mother of two girls who are being subjected to horrible things.  But unlike most mums who can’t get a lawyer, she has 4 lawyers working for her, pro bono, in Oklahoma.  Be that as it may, Keith says, none of those 4 will speak up about government involvement in child trafficking. If they did, they would lose their jobs. Or at least they would lose other cases that they bring before judges!

His book, The Worst Interests of the Child, was reviewed here at Gumshoe. It is about a boy in Connecticut who came home from his Dad’s, singing to his mother:  “We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy electrocution.”

Here is the video.  I suggest you start at 38 minutes:

    • Why skip to 38 min of the Keith Harmon Snow interview?
      I’m only half way through but it strikes me that the whole thing is a must-watch

      • What’s significant re the 38 minute mark is that his response to being asked
        “how do we turn this around ?”is that “the public has to become aware” followed by a comparison to the black civil rights movement, quote, “we really need a network like the runaway-slave underground railroad”
        There doesn’t seem to be any cognition re the fact that that’s exactly what the Aus feds have specifically targeted or, more importantly, the fact that the slave-emancipation movement was 100% Christ-centred, that academic humanism has never been known to save anyone from anything.

        • Academic humanism won’t ever save anyone from anything because it’s all about evading the Requirement of the Hour

          • Notwithstanding, here’s a reasonably clear-headed run-down on why the anti-Epstein lobby is naught but self-righteous posturing:

  2. I found this letter from Maxwell on Rumormill

    https://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=223278

    “Dear King Charles,

    “You and I are the same vintage, born ’48 and ’47 respectively. You seem to have lived up to the role that was thrust upon you. During the last seven decades, I have had more freedom than you….

    “Today I am writing to you as King of Australia. I have recently been reading up about the 2004 case of an Aboriginal man, Mulrunji Doomadgee, age 36, in Palm Island, Queensland. I was sleuthing for information about Judge Leanne Clare. For the moment let me say that I think the judiciary would be better honored without her. Three reasons recommend themselves right away.

    Ms Clare’s behavior in the Palm Island case, when she was not a judge but a DPP — Director of Public Prosecutions — was abominable. I s’pose that’s why she was awarded a judgeship. It looked as though Leanne, as DPP, was absolutely forbidden by her masters to say that a cop, Chris Hurley, had caused the death of Mulrunji (even though the coroner, Christine Clements, said it).

    Judge Clare’s behavior is also abominable in the current case of Cling Peaches. (That’s an American joke from the show “All in the Family,” where Archie Bunker told his wife Edith to stop talking about cling peaches. He put a gag order on her). Leanne the judge has put a gag order on every journo, via a suppression of the defendants’ names. And I’m guessing that her masters have forbidden her to suggest that the sexual abuse of children is wrong.

    My third reason hasn’t got specifically to do with Judge Clare. It has to do with you, Sir. I note that in my country of origin, the US, the legislature — Congress — can remove a judge by a vote to impeach. But in Australia it can only be done if the Governor-General approves, which is to say it can only be done by you. I find that horrific — that Australian judges work for the monarch.”
