Wrap-up of 2017, A Great Year for Mary-the-Candidate

by Mary W Maxwell

This is a wrap-up of my 2017 articles, but also of my geographical extravaganza. The first third of the year was spent by me in South Australia, the next in Alabama, and the last in New Hampshire. I’ll boast of my hundred-or-so articles this year by linking key ones.

The Australian Phase

In January I finished off my series on the Droudis trial, and spoke at the Conservative Speakers Club in Launceston, where I found out about the Sue Neill-Fraser case.

On January 28, soon after his Inauguration, Trump spoiled his copybook by banning Muslims from entering the US. I expressed my disappointment as “There Goes Melania’s Blue Dress,” and later supported the Dreamers in their quest for citizenship.

In February I called for a Pizzagate Truth Commission. Pretty sure that is the only way it can be done, as official law-enforcement is now so corrupt. In March I turned 70, which has ratcheted up my anxiety level about not being able to accomplish enough.

On March 14, 2017, we put on the Moot Court Trial for Martin Bryant at Adelaide Fringe, using professional actors. Despite a too-short time for rehearsals, a desired result was secured: Bryant spake! – and some cops did, too — and the play’s script is now on the shelf of at least one State Library. So there.

On April 7, President Trump shocked us by bombing Syria. I later recommended that someone take Trump to court over this violation of the Constitution, and praised Rep Barbara Lee for trying to sunset the AUMF. I spent Passover (April 11th) in Perth, promoting Wendy Hoffman’s priceless revelations.

On April 26 we got the cakes ready for Bryant’s 50th birthday. On April 30 I got the whacky idea to help the Ten Commandments judge in Alabama and, lo and behold, that turned that into office-seeking for myself. Before leaving Adelaide on May 11, I had seen the new erection on North Terrace, so left with a heavy heart.

The Alabama Phase

For the months May through August, I posted all my Gumshoe articles at the “Hots” page of www.maxwellforsenate.com, should you wish to link to them. They concern 9-11, man-made hurricanes, vaccination – the usual — plus matters arising during my campaign such as the Congressional baseball game.

I have often said how happy I was in the Deep South. This article, occasioned by Trump going fisticuffs with the MSM, displays my jovial mood.

In September I tried to rent a house in Tuscaloosa, but it did not come off. Just t that moment I “got the call” to attend a meeting in Boston. This led to new developments.

The New Hampshire Phase

Ever the stickybeak, I headed for Boylston Street (Finish Line type thing) to look retrospectively at the 2013 Marathon. Could not find the Forum Restaurant at 755 Boylston and now am told it has gone out of business.

So next to WFPL – Watertown Free Public Library. While attending Chris Bollyn’s lecture there in September 7, I realized he was the anonymous author whose ideas I had adapted in my “Who Killed Cock Robin on 9-11?” piece.

Best borscht in town

An October trip to Canada gave me the chance to hug Aunt Maret and learn more about the Tsarnaev’s background in Chechnya. And do you recall the Tales of the Vienna Woods?

By the time November rolled around, I was back into my original task of supporting Roy Moore for the Alabama US Senate job. This was because the Washington Post had scurrilously attacked him. I wrote many pieces about the media’s behavior.

In the end he lost to Doug Jones and so maybe I will come to regret hgaviong called him “Dog Jones.”

December brought a new group into my lens’ focus: Boston for 9-11 Truth. Preparing a lecture for their January meeting got me to concentrate on the Marathon, as expressed in the 3-part series of articles called Boston Marathon Wrap-up. December also included a failed trip to the 9-11 memorial museum.

Reviews

Gumshoe should have a regular section for book reviews, music reviews etc. We don’t yet have that, but I hereby reiterate Dee McLachlan’s invitation to new writers. It’s good to start with a review. (That’s how I started with The Age.) Just send us one and we will consider it for publication.

Here are a few reviews that I wrote for Gumshoe this year:

Books:

Another Nineteen, by Kevin Ryan, The Betrayal of India, by Elias Davidsson, and Proofs of a Conspiracy, by John Robison – from 1798 yet!

Lectures:

Laura Jacob’s on Transgender

Movies

“The Family” about Anne Hamilton-Byrne’s cult in Victoria

Arrests

Ursula Haverbeck’s latest skirmish with German laws against “offending the dead” – which is pretty hard to do, when you think of it.

Hmm, memories of the dead somehow reminds me of Judge O’Toole reading Shakespeare to Jahar in court (truly) and telling him that “The evil men do live after them, the good is often interred with their bones ” – but adding that Jahar had never done any good anyway!

Hmm, I’m thinking that the good O’Toole has done for mankind is the botching up of the Marathon case to such an extent that no one could ever take that sort of prosecution seriously again.

Various Gumshoe Series in 2017

Sometimes I start a series on a given subject, partly to force myself to keep that topic going. Here I’ll list my series, giving a link to its last entry.

Australia Day Poems, Part 4: The Cruelty of Us Today

Martin Bryant Birthday, Part 4: Yes I Kidnapped Rick, Sorry about That

Health Care, Part 4: Obamacare Out, Charity In.

Antidotes to Powerlessness, Part 2: Inspecting the DoJ and the FBI

Solving the Marathon Bomb Mystery, Part 10: When Is the Right Time To Split Their Brains Out?

False Memory, Part 3: Wendy Hoffman’s Lecture

Vax Catastrophe, Part 1: What Does Walt Want and Why Does He Want It?

Law Reporting

With the exception of the Inquest hearings and the live-streaming of Judge Peter McClellan’s Royal Commission hearings, I do not consider myself Gumshoe’s court reporter. Again, we could use such a person, so law students, please show up. I do, however, write eagerly about some new use of good old law. Please see these articles:

A New Legal Test To See If the Accused Was Brainwashed (e.g. Patty Hearst); a Fascinating Proposal Lawsuit against NATO Members; Buenos Dias; Your Honor (re Jahar’s appeal with me as an amicus); deploying law against slavery with regard to trafficked children. Also, the constitutional basis of Oz’s monarchy in question, the illegality of the CIA, and the law of official secrets.

Big Picture

I’m always trying to outline the Big Picture, as far as I am able to imagine it. Here are some titles from 2017:

Good vs Evil and How to Level the Playing Field, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Teresa May’s Father’s Death in a Car Crash, Dutch Journalist Karel van Wolferen re our mental prison. Kay Griggs and the Anal Theory of Power, and Are the Powerful Likely to Collapse?

From the Heartfelt Gratitude Department

Ever since I joined Gumshoe, many of my articles have been in response to what was said by Dee in her articles, or what was said by Commenters at Gumshoe. This year I was particularly influenced by the comments of Don Wreford.

Thanks to all of them, and “ta” to a secret commenter who generously proofread my revised book, Marathon Bombing: Indicting the Players.

Of course while campaigning for the US Senate I was influenced both by my opponents and supporters. I thank the many Republican county chairpersons in Bama for giving me a podium and I thank the fabulous Greyhound bus drivers who transported me thereto. Radio hosts treated me courteously, except one.

Whenever I emailed Josée Lépine for data about the Tsarnaev case, the reply seemed to come back within milliseconds. We certainly are a research community.

I’m humbly grateful to the foregoing folks, and Her Bossness, and many others who have helped me. It was a most kind year.

Mary W Maxwell is the luckiest girl in the world.

  3. I don’t want to bring in 2018, Cherri; I just want to roll over and die.

    All the bad things so visibly coming to pass on schedule (per Dr Day, Orwell, others) and nearly everyone unwilling to resist it!

    You can be sure 2018 will end with Bryant and Jahar in jail (or dead).You can be sure cancer (genocide) will increase. You can be sure chillums won’t be taught to think.

    On the bright side, I watched a quiz show on TV yesterday. The host asked “Which causes more human suffering — anger, ignorance, greed, or slow wi-fi?”

    The contestant said “slow wi-fi.” I guess he’s right.

  4. See, what did I tell you. Just this minute I gets an email from the Leonard Peltier supporters saying “2018 will be our successful year.” No it won’t, sorry.

    I quote them: “As 2017 comes to a close and 2018 begins we are moving forward with renewed resolve and determination to free Leonard and keep awareness of his life in the public eye. As global politics have changed since the presidential election of 2016 so has public awareness of political prisoners incarcerated because of government corruption and oppression….”

    Bugger it. We are the weak. What to do about the strong.

    I think Dee had the right idea yesterday. Quo vide.

  5. Hey Americans, Seppo’s, Gringos already — can you recall the Bicentennial? Long time ago, right? 1976.

    Well, that’s when Leonard Peltier got shoved into the klink for allegedly killing two FBI agents. Forty one years ago. He got his first Christmas visit by family in 20 years, this Christmas. Looks like he gets one every 20 years. Next one 2037?

    He must be incredibly disgusted with us, out there in the “free” space.

  7. Thank you for all of that Mary, and all you left out! I feel so tired just reading that! I honestly dont know how you do it!
    sounds a bit like youre starting to look at your glass as if its half empty… I thought i was the pessimist!
    i admit watching the idiot box every now and then, and seeing how people go about demanding action/justice in some other countries, I wonder just what it will take for us to start demanding accountability from our so called “leaders”. It might mean we have to wait for a bit more for things to get worse, before they can get any better. The “under rock dwellers” will only complain when theyre really hurting.. but worse it will surely get! so thats something to look forward to then! Yeehah! BRING ON THE PAIN!

  9. Ive had the pleasure of listening to talk back radio for the last few days.
    Glad to have you vigilant, while the sleep walk continues.
    Wonder whats going on, on Jekyll Island

  10. To Fair Dinkum, what I’m thinking is that we don’t have a mechanism to fight those over us. We have a fab mechanism to identify, and attack, those below us (street crims) and those in the next billabong over — our ethnic enemy.

    But when our “good rulers” are being bad, we just say “duh”. Not that our rational brain can’t deal with it, but our emotional brain is way stronger than our rational brain.

    I hope you are correct that bringing in the pain will do the trick.

  11. Berry, in the comments to yesterday’s article by Phil, it is said that Dick Smith is complaining (thank God) about a Western Australian airport being sold to China.

    If I look at that fact, am I looking at verge or headlights?

    • I’d have to say headlights.

      I mean, if you don’t have the means to defend something “ownership” is mute.

      And wasn’t the Rothschild empire created on the premise of owning nothing and controlling everything ?

      • Dick Smith is an icon. That helps. (Although he did disappoint Return-to-Sender Mal Hughes). What’s so impressive about stupid-ass Rothschild?

        It’s knees-knocking time for him if only we didn’t keep OURSELVES down.

        By the way, Berry, you slay me. Every time.
