Intimidation

Why did Ginni Thomas have Trump's ear? Because of the deceptive authority she leaned into. There is absolutely no way Ginni Thomas can deny she was a power player. She was. Definitively she was.

We have testimony from those that worked in the Trump White House that everyone dreaded the day Ginni Thomas showed up at Trump's office, because, people would be fired from their jobs.

When a wife of an Associate Supreme Court Justice calls on lawmakers there is an undertone to that interaction whether it is witnessed or simply pillow talk. A spouse of a Supreme Court Justice has access to one of the nine highest ranking legal authorities in the country. What conversation at the dinner table occurs is confidential, but, not illegal to share with the public.

Ginni Thomas had/has an air about her. She is an activist and a woman married to a powerful man. It is completely clear she cannot mind her own business to save her own life. So, I am quite sure there were times when the activist would converse with hubby about the potential of "this or that." That this or that when it came to Trump was the understanding that one could use measures, albeit ancient, that could return a decision to put Trump into the White House again and this time if the US Constitution was to fall, Trump could be king forever.

Hypothetical, of course. Right, Ginnie?

Where it becomes a problem is when Ginnie's activism seeks to destroy an entire election of a president. That is subversion at the very least of the USA Constitution. Chapter 115 is something Associate Justice Thomas would know  something about, so Ginny would carry messaging to the country and the world that was profoundly safe and not at all unconstitutional, right Clarence?

18 U.S. Code Chapter 115 - Treason, Sedition, and Subversive Activities (click here)

Maybe this section of the law is more clear when it comes to Ginni's activism.

18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection (click here)

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

But, activist Ginni would state, "I wasn't there!" Physically, she was not there. But, organizationally, she definitely was there.

There are times when I sincerely feel bad for the hubris the Republican elite actually subscribe to as they believe every dollar has a vote. Ginni simply took that understanding one step further. Since, money of any kind voted, surely there was more money spent in Arizona among Republicans than at any other time in history. Therefore, there must be a problem in the vote in that state.

Ginni Thomas broke the law. She used her power within a marriage to an Associate Justice to advance an agenda that would dissolve the election of 2020 and carry out a coup d'é·tat. In that coup lay the idea that the existing president would be the last president of the USA forever, basically a king. Realizing that was a goal, not only by Trump, but, the Federalist Society, there is real peril for Ginny Thomas. She was intimately involved in grooming the Trump staff within the power of the White House to an agreeable group that were "believers" in a certain outcome for Trump, hence, the Republican Elite.

To say this is unethical when it comes to the Associate Justice Thomas in his willingness to entertain his spouse's activism in theory alone, is an understatement. If Thomas actually knew she was empowered in a way that would seek a coupe to the presidency resulting in a permanent king, Justice Thomas at the very least has many questions to answer.

The American people need to understand the brevity of all these activities and the plans made long ago to overthrow the USA Constitution. Americans need to understand how close this came to dissolving the USA Constitution. This is serious and not simply politics.

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, (click here) the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, pressed Arizona lawmakers after the 2020 election to set aside Joe Biden’s popular-vote victory and choose “a clean slate of Electors,” according to emails obtained by The Washington Post.

The emails, sent by Ginni Thomas to a pair of lawmakers on Nov. 9, 2020, argued that legislators needed to intervene because the vote had been marred by fraud. Though she did not mention either candidate by name, the context was clear.

Just days after media organizations called the race for Biden in Arizona and nationwide, Thomas urged the lawmakers to “stand strong in the face of political and media pressure.” She told the lawmakers that the responsibility to choose electors was “yours and yours alone” and said they had “power to fight back against fraud.”...

Arseniy Pavlov is an animal, not a human being.

“I don’t give a f***k about what I am accused of, believe it or not,” he said, according to a recording of the conversation. “I shot 15 prisoners dead. I don’t give a f***k.”

Wartime prisoners have a special status. Pavlov violates every one of them.

Kyiv - “If I want to, I kill. If not, I don’t.” 

That’s part of the cold, startling alleged confession of an infamous separatist commander in eastern Ukraine. This week he reportedly admitted to the Kyiv Post newspaper that he personally executed more than a dozen Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Arseniy Pavlov, better known by his nom de guerre “Motorola,” is one of many Russian volunteers who have flocked to eastern Ukraine in the past year to join the Moscow-backed insurgency against Ukrainian government forces.

He's gained a cult following among rebel sympathizers in Ukraine and Russia, and has featured as a star in Russian state media.

His exploits include leading the seizure earlier this year of the highly symbolic Donetsk airport, and even staging a high-profile wartime wedding last summer with a local Ukrainian insurgent....

There is also a huge division among the people taken prisoner by Russia. Some are innocent Ukrainians that never was involved in any aspect of the war.

December 2021

...When Ukraine, (click here) Russia and Moscow-backed separatists exchange prisoners, it is usually men — captured fighters and male civilians. In the latest exchange on December 29, 2019, however, pro-Russian separatists handed over a total of 76 people to Ukraine, more than a dozen of them women. DW met two of those women in a clinic in Kyiv, where they were receiving medical care.

Olena Sorokina stood out during the prisoner swap. She got off the bus wearing a white sweatshirt that had a trident, the Ukrainian national emblem, sketched on the front with a ballpoint pen. On the back, the shirt was emblazoned with the words: "Ukraine is my state."

"I drew on the sweatshirt at night in my cell under the bed," Sorokina said, adding that was what she wanted to wear when returning to Ukrainian forces. "There were armed guards on the bus, so I only put the sweatshirt on when I saw soldiers with Ukrainian insignia outside — at that point, nobody could hurt me anymore."...

Regardless the danger in identifying themselves as Ukrainian, they never, not one second succumbed to the pressure of changing their identity. These people are NOT Russian in any aspect of their hearts or minds.

Vladimir Putin and his Duma have on many, many legal fronts indicated the "rights of Russian speaking people" for their enforced civil war in eastern Ukraine. There is absolutely no one in Ukraine that sees their identity as "Russian speaking" as a proof of their nationality/ethnicity. Putin has CREATED a scenario for his politics to maintain the civil war in eastern Ukraine even if he has to kill every Russian Speaking UKRAINIAN in the process.

THESE ARE NOT LEGITIMATE PRISONERS OF WAR!!!!!!!!!!

Stop allowing Putin's delusion! There is no legitimate narrative that can have within it's context any justification for the civil war nor the current killing campaign.

This is all a propaganda campaign and not a legal or legitimate reason for killing. All Ukrainians are confronted with the option to live up to expectations as prisoners, etcetera, or die. There is no real choice in any aspect of Putin's war. The Ukrainians have an obligation to the world to survive. The methods in maintaining their lives, regardless any guilt, will always be justified. There can be no crime for staying alive.

First deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, (click here) representative of Ukraine in the humanitarian subgroup of the Trilateral Contact Group for Donbas, Iryna Gerashchenko, has said that the Ukrainian side is ready to transfer 20 Russians who are held in Ukrainian prisons in order to release Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia; this issue will be raised in Minsk on Wednesday, April 4.

“The working group will meet in Minsk on April 4 … The second issue that we will raise is the release of hostages. The Ukrainian side is doing everything to ensure that the next wave of hostage release is taken as soon as possible. But for us it is important to release not only those, who remain in the occupied territory, but also the captives of the Kremlin,” Gerashchenko told reporters in Kyiv on April 2.

She said that the Ukrainian side is ready to hand over “20 Russians who are detained in Ukrainian prisons for violating Ukrainian legislation and participating in the war in order to free Sentsov [a Ukrainian film director who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for terrorism], Kolchenko [Crimean activist Oleksandr Kolchenko] and our other prisoners.”

At the same time, Gerashchenko noted that in this issue “the will of the Russian Federation is very important.”...

US Rule of Law
50 U.S. Code § 4105 - Prisoners of war

As used in subsection (b) of this section, (click here) the term “prisoner of war” means any regularly appointed, enrolled, enlisted, or inducted member of the military or naval forces of the United States who was held as a prisoner of war for any period of time subsequent to December 7, 1941, by any government of any nation with which the United States has been at war subsequent to such date....

When fighting for one's life, there are few rules that reign. But, genocide is disallowed as a reason for war.

The Azov Special Forces Regiment was on the very front to end the atrocities of the Russian War. Russia has no justifiable grounds for this destruction which really was intended to kill the people hiding inside. This steel rubble is proof of the attempts at further genocide by Russia. If Russia truly had one objective to stop production of steel at his plant, that status occurred long before this picture took place. This is pre-meditated genocide. There were also children inside the steel plant.

I remind. This is all pre-meditated with significant proof. Russia was never a rigorous partner at Minsk I or II. President Zelenskyy had been seeking peace and prosperity talks with Russia for two years prior to the attack. Russia was never successful in ending the civil war it initiated in eastern Ukraine. Russia initiated a civil war in eastern Ukraine for the sole reason of a pre-meditated timeline to celebrate his politics on May 9. There is absolutely no reason for the invasion into Ukraine that is causing pain and suffering by over 40 million Ukrainians.

In this photo (click here) provided by Azov Special Forces Regiment of the Ukrainian National Guard Press Office, a Ukrainian soldier stands inside the ruined Azovstal steel plant prior to surrender to the Russian forces in Mariupol, Ukraine, May 16, 2022. For nearly three months, Azovstal’s garrison clung on, refusing to be winkled out from the tunnels and bunkers under the ruins of the labyrinthine mill. A Ukrainian soldier-photographer documented the events and sent them to the world. Now he is a prisoner of the Russia.

Pokrovsk, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s claimed seizure of a Mariupol steel plant that became a symbol of Ukrainian tenacity gives Russian President Vladimir Putin a sorely needed victory in the war he began, capping a nearly three-month siege that left the city in ruins and more than 20,000 residents feared dead.

After the Russian Defense Ministry announced late Friday that its forces had removed the last Ukrainian fighters from the plant’s miles of underground tunnels, concern mounted for the Ukrainian defenders who now are prisoners in Russian hands.

Denis Pushilin, the head of an area of eastern Ukraine controlled by Moscow-backed separatists, said Saturday that the Ukrainians considered heroes by their fellow citizens were sure to face a tribunal for their wartime actions.

That is a carefully worded statement. Denis Pushilin is not stating genocide, but, uses "...wartime actions" to bring the Russian law to oversee it's burden. The Russian Courts are not the place for these jury trials. The prisoners should immediately be transported to The Hague for a free and open trial. Russia is not capable of fair hearings of prisoners as it is at war and will use the trials for propaganda for Putin's politics. If the trials are to go forward, the poisoners should be held in a disinterested third party country while hearings to determine guilt are held at The Hague.

“I believe that a tribunal is inevitable here. I believe that justice must be restored. There is a request for this from ordinary people, society, and, probably, the sane part of the world community,” Russian state news agency Tass quoted Pushilin as saying.

The Ukrainian government has not commented on Russia’s claim of capturing Azovstal, which for weeks remained Mariupol’s last holdout of Ukrainian resistance, and with it completing Moscow’s long-sought goal of controlling the city, home to a strategic seaport....
